This virus warning *is* a hoax; one of the oldest there are, in fact. I
have been preaching my network users about the many permutations of this
joke for years. I could almost lose my composure over this and rant for
hours. I will not do it. Look up
http://kumite,com/myths/
(note: *no* "www" in this address!!)
and read all about the phenomenon from one of the absolute experts on the=

field of virus hoaxes. You could also check the web site of any anti-viru=
s
software business (Network Associates, Symantec, Dr. Solomon, whatever),
and you will find "Win a Holiday" among the hoaxes.
Please do not pass on the warning; please make sure you tell the person w=
ho
sent you that thing that the virus is not genuine.

P,S.: German speakers can look the issue up on my own home page at =

Note: this page is in German. Anyone not able to read German (most on thi=
s
list, I believe) and still not reassured should go straight to the
kumite,com web site.
