RE: Please Read This Announcement Everyone

Sounds like a hoax to me.  Highlighting the subject is causing it to
load?  Seems doubtful.  Where did you hear about this from?

Hello everyone

I know it is not good practice to send messages about viruses but there
is a nasty one going around.  It has no attachment and it will run just
by highlighting the subject.  Any emails you receive that have the
subject "sample ads sample ads sample ads sample ads sample ads sample
ads sample ads " is a vicious virus of some kind.  I believe it is
grabbing IP addresses (probably from domains in your mailbox) and then
launching heavy denial of service attacks on those web sites.  I habeen
in contact with 3 ISPs this morning who are experiencing difficulties.

Again this is not a hoax and I am only trying to spare some grief.
