AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH

The "virus" is the fact that this shit keeps getting sent around.

Once again, boys and girls, and please repeat after me:

emails do not cause viruses, executables files, often attached to emails,
cause viruses when executed.

Forward THIS letter out to as many people as you can.

for much more info, go to

and specifically

http://www.stiller.com/guts.htm

for info on this an other virus hoaxes and don't post this crap to a list
until you check there first.
