Just out of interest, has anyone EVER recieved an email virus warning
that wasn't a hoax? I certainly haven't! I mean, has anyone ever seen the
email virus 'how to give a cat a colonic" or that old classic "don't be
afraid to say jesus"? Sure, friends have told me about real viruses (I
was even sent 'Happy99.exe" once, but happily, being a Mac user...), but
never in this time honoured tradition ie, IBM and Microsoft have said to
look out for it, it's new and very dangerous and not many people know
about it yet etc etc. Where do these hoaxes come from?

Just wondering...

Dan.
