Real Virus alert (r)

[hag2@xxxxxxxxxxx]

Dear Friends,
We are wrestling with the virus "happy 99".  Now there is a new virus
called "Melissa".  If you receive the mail attached with the file
"important message".  Do not open it.  Delete it right away.

If you use Outlook(and possibly other email programs,) 
>> it will send a message to the top 50 people on your list. 
>> It will not erase your hard drive, it is basically harmless, 
>> and is designed to shut down email servers.
>> 


regards
