an insidious new computer virus which has already
affected close to 30 million computers.
Even though I'm running the latest McAfee and
Norton viri scans, neither have picked up this
virus as it's a mutating virus which isn't set
to go off until Friday, June 8, 2001.
As many viri are, this one is transmitted by email.
I'm required by law to contact everyone that has
received email from me in the last six months
and warn them about this virus.
