Re: computerdisc-l: Fwd: Fw: virus alert



Christy, that was a hoax.  Go to www.sarc.com and it will tell you.  I talked to my provider about this and he told me not to do it.  It will get rid of something you need to run Windows properly.  Call your provider and ask.  Sorry.

FROM:  CHRISTY HAWKINS WILLHITE

THIS IS WHY I DO NOT LIKE FORWARDING THINGS TO PEOPLE BECAUSE I RECEIVED A VIRUS JUST BECAUSE I WAS IN SOMEONE'S ADDRESS BOOK.  I GOT THIS MESSAGE FROM MY FRIEND DEANA THAT I TRUST OR I WOULD NOT HAVE GONE THROUGH THE STEPS.  I CHECKED AND DID HAVE THE VIRUS SO YOU NEED TO CHECK AS WELL.  THE STEPS LISTED BELOW ARE EASY TO FOLLOW.
