Virus Alert Hoax!



Hi List. The virus alert just posted is a hoax. There is no such thing
as a text email virus. Any kind of virus requires an executable file to
spread and do its thing, so attachments to email that contain executable
programs may be infected. A trojan horse is not a virus - it is a
delivery system for a program that is often a virus.
This alert is a hoax! Refer to SARC for more information about viruses
and recent virus and trojan horse alerts

Hope this is helpful.
