You should always ignore e-mails like this, becaues they
are normaly out of date if applicable.  It is also the 
quickes way of spreading a virus.  This is why you should
never down load a Free or Shareware virus checker (they
normaly infect your PC).  

Thankfuly I can not get any of you PC viruses, becaues my
machine is a linux box. 

I have just looked it up on the companys virus checker, 
and its a farly wimpy virus, which is filtered out by
most internet gateways.  It does not travel by e-mail.  

The other point is all hardware is indistructible by
software.  You can not run anything that will in any way
damage you computer, except if you run your screen at
the wrong refresh rate, but then it goes all screwy and
it was made before '94.
