I was and it went into my address book. Please send to everyone else in your
address book. This will delete your hard drive in about 14 days.

I'm sending this because I found this virus in my computer system
and it may be in yours since you are in my address book! This
notice was sent to me from a colleague outside the Academy who
has me on his address book. I've already sent this e-mail to the rest
of my staff.
This is a virus that is spread from address book to address book. It
is apparently undetectable by Norton. It remains dormant for
about 14 days then activates and wipes out the hard drive data. The
directions for removing it are easy:
>1. Go to 'start' - then to 'find or search'

>2. In the 'search for files or folders'

>4. Hit 'search' button (or find)
