Folks, we are all concerned about viruses, but how many times is this
HOAX going to circle around?!?
C'mon!
The below information is from the homepage of the SYMANTEC Antivirus
Research Center
(http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html). It was originally sent
out a week ago, or so, to all of us in Headquarters, Twelfth Air Force,
by our network administrators.

=========================================
Although there are thousands of viruses discovered each year, there are
still some that only exist in the imaginations of the public and the
press. This is the comprehensive list of viruses that DO NOT EXIST,
despite rumor of their creation and distribution.
Please ignore any messages regarding these supposed "viruses" and do not
pass on any messages about them. Passing on messages about these hoaxes
only serves to further propagate them.
