If anyone doesn't have a current AntiVirus program, (Like Me),
Here is the web address where you can get a free scan.

I just had my Norton run out, and I am going to go get me a new program.

Also be cautious if some one you know writes you and tells you that they had a virus and may of passed it on to you. THERE IS A HOAX WHICH I WILL PAST BELOW. The file they warn you about is a file that is normally in most Windows, so don't delete it.

THEY ARE TRYING TO GET YOU TO DELETE SOMETHING YOU NEED.
