Hi,

before freaking out about this supposed current virus threat, it would be 
informative to read the information about it at Snopes.com, which 
investigates, explains and evaluates such warnings. This one originated in 
the fall of 2006, and much about it is interesting to read. here's the URL 
of the Snopes page about this virus warning. if the link takes up two lines 
in your eamail, as it does in mine, first note where the line break is, then

copy and paste the entire URL into your browser's address bar, but then look

for the place where the line break was and make sure there's no space there 
to break up the URL, by deleting a space if you find one.
