There is so much fear out there, and this is "social engineering", some fear based thing to make people do something to hurt them. There are false antivirus popups, where a window comes up on your screen when you visit a web page, telling you that your computer has a virus, and offering a free scan. If you do it, you have the virus! Someone once sent out an e-mail to one of my groups on Yahoo, telling about a virus that no antivirus could find, and telling my group members to delete it off their computers. It was an important system file! I went to snopes.com and looked it up, or I would have been caught myself. Thanks again for setting people straight about these things. Sincerely; Alex Dear Elizabeth;
