computerdisc-l: Fwd: please read this VIRUS ALERT - W32/ProLin@MM

[Naomi Bates <nmb21@excite.com>]

I got this notice last week. I'm glad I read it because I just received it
in my e-mail. The subject and message were exactly as this said it would be.
I did a virus scan and it showed as infected. The strange thing is that it
showed as being from a friend in my address book. Watch Out!
