Brothers on this board, please be advised that this is not a hoax.  I
have
many friends in the computer field, and for the last year, the entire
Internet field has said that it is impossible for an e-mail to carry a
virus.  I was learned by many about this, and too agreeded with this
because
of the way a virus is executed.  A friend of mine just got the virus via
e-mail, and it destroyed his harddrive.  So be advised that this is a
REAL virus sent by e-mail.  Remember, back up be for you say, "I knew
I should have..."  GOD bless bro's,
