THIS IS NO JOKE!!! I've had C/H for 22 years but this post is not about that kind of headache.My son just received this about an hour ago, it reads as follows. "If you receive an E-MAIL titled " WIN A HOLIDAY " DO NOT OPEN IT!!!!!! It will erase everything on your hard drive.Forward this letter out to as many people as you can, { if you want to or have the time. I added this last line } This a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it. This information was announced yesterday morning from Microsoft, please try and share it with everyone that might access the internet."
I received this from , Kerry Looney

You can take this for what it's worth, but I for one am "once bitten twice shy". Just last month I got bitten real bad. I had to replace my modem, C Drom motor and have windows 95 reinstalled. So I'm not taking any chances. It really sucked having my computer in "computer hospital" I suspect there are going to be a hand full of people offended by this post because it has nothing to do with C/H, if thats the case I'm sorry I wasted your time.
