Re: Warning Virus July 31st

Please don't perpetuate these hoaxes!!!  YOU CANNOT GET AN VIRUS IN AN
E-MAIL MESSAGE!!  DOESN'T MATTER WHAT THE SUBJECT SAYS!!!  An e-mail
message is only a text message.  Viruses are contained in programs and
applications.  You can get a virus from an attachment or software you
download from the web only.  To protect yourself, virus check any software
or attachments before you open them.  But you're safe reading your e-mail,
no matter what the subject is.
