I know this is off the topic of Poser but I wanted a busy forum to post this in.. I recieved this email from a good friend of mine from Australia... he has always been accurate in his virus alerts to me so I figured this one should be shared...here it is... **************************************** I'm passing this urgent message on as received from a very knowledgeable PC associate. Very Urgent!!!!!!! If you receive an email titled: "It Takes Guts to Say Jesus" DO NOT OPEN IT. It will erase everything on your hard drive. This information was announced yesterday morning from IBM; AOL states that this is a very dangerous virus, much worse than "Melissa," and that there is NO Remedy for it at this time. Some very sick individual has succeeded in using the reformat function from Norton Utilities causing it to completely erase all documents on the hard drive. It has been designed to work with Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer. It destroys Macintosh and IBM compatible computers. This is a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it. Please practice cautionary measures and tell anyone that may have access to your computer. Forward this warning to everyone that you know that might access the Internet. Joyce L. Bober IBM Information Systems Pittsburgh Mailing Systems 412 - 922-8744 **************************************** Watch you back folks! Styxx

It's a hoax. You can go to the Norton site and check on hoaxes and actual viruses.

There are a lot of things worse than dying, being afraid all the time would be one.
