 Subject: Fw: Virus Alert

 A new virus has just been discovered that has been
classified by Microsoft ( www.microsoft.com ) and by
McAfee (www.mcafee.com) as the most destructive ever!

This is a hoax.  McAfee clearly states as such on their Virus Hoax pages:

     http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=98893&;

The above-referenced page also includes the hoax text.

Keith (and everybody else) *please* ALWAYS check on the veracity of a virus warning before transmitting it -- otherwise, you're simply magnifying the problem!
