Hi all,  I am forwarding this message from Michael, the computer engineer.

He thinks this recent virus warning is NOT a hoax.    There are several
names 
for this virus. See the message below.  Also check out Norton and McAfee 
websites.  McAfee is supposed to have a handle on it tomorrow? Here is 
Michael's note to me......which also includes the original virus warning 
below his message.

    I checked, this one is actually real.  McAffee has an update that
protects
against it, so update your virus definitions and you'll be fine.  Norton
knows about it, but I'm unsure if they protect against it yet.  I get
conflicting info on their website.  It was only discovered today (3/6/01),
so they will probably have everything straight by tomorrow.  You can find
more info on either www.mcaffee.com or www.norton.com/avcenter.

PS.  This may be the first virus warning I've received via email that
isn't
a hoax.
