OH NO, NOT THIS ONE GOING AROUND AGAIN! This is a total hoax. It first went 
around about 8 months ago and just recently got kicked around again. PLEASE 
go directly to www.symantec.com (Norton Anti-virus site) and do a search if 
you have any doubts about a virus. This will save you big problems and 
looking very foolish!
