Uh, what was the point of posting this crap..?
A) if you have decent virus protection, there is no need to worry
/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" /> you shouldn't be stupid enough to open attachments from emails you don't know
C) No such thing as Sector Zero
D) CNN don't report such things, unless they say Mac OSX is good in the process
E) Never, EVER, believe "Send this to your MSN contacts" emails

And finally..

F) "no vaccine has yet
> been developed. "

WTF..?!?!?!?!?!

To sumarise: this thread should be deleted.. /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

(alright, where did emanon and Ja's posts come from..? HUH? lol)
