I RECEIVED THIS EARLY THIS MORNING & MY VIRUS SOFTWARE
SAYS THE ATTACHMENT CONTAINS A VIRUS. VIRUS IDENTIFIED: I-Worm/Gibe.B. I
WAS A LITTLE LEARY THAT MICROSOFT WOULD BE E-MAILING ME.
IF I AM WRONG, OK. HOWEVER IF THIS IS FILLED WITH A VIRUS I WOULD LIKE
TO WARN PEOPLE TO DELETE THIS AND NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT.
