Thanks alot for the tip!!!!

here here

the message is a hoax because viruses cant be spread that way

Thanks Phil .. tried to snopes it but no luck .. sure it's there somewhere

deb please share link on snopes .. I didn't find it

I had a girl view me & her headline was an invite to Adult friend finder

I have no friends but thanks for the info.

i`ll see what i can find, but the fact is that viruses cant be spread like that

i would suggest to anyone that gets these types of e-mails to NOT forward them like they ask because a lot of times they them selves have infected attachments on them

Well better safe then sorry and usually snopes will tell me that....so I figured since it wasn't a hoax according to snopes that I would just put it out there. Thanks phil

Thats because when it doesn't come up on snopes then it is not a hoax

here you go.....

VB reminds users: if you receive a virus warning message, do not forward the message to all your friends/colleagues, as it may suggest in the text. If you have verified that the message is a hoax, simply delete it. If you are unsure, forward the message to your IT administrator. Failing that, forward it to hoax@virusbtn.com. It is possible that you may receive a hoax email with a file attachment. Since it is possible that these attachments could be infected VB advises such files to be be treated with the same caution as any other unexpected message attachment and urges users not to open them.

Just because something isn't on Snopes doesn't mean it's true it just hasn't made it on to the site.

The message is simply a hoax that began on Second Life.

thanks Deb, I can be so nieve, I walk right into the viruses....LOL

Thanks Phil
