1) General Interest

New Virus Alert for the "Mail Server Report" email

Yes, there is a new virus alert out there that carries the Warezov.W virus.  Yes, it really exists.  Yes, it is talked about on Snopes:
http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/mailserver.asp

I would like to briefly address 2 key issues:

1. Outrageous claims are often made for viruses.  While you don't want to get one, they are seldom as nasty as described in the email alerts.

2. I've seen a lot of emails lately that claim to be checked out by Snopes -- but they really haven't been.  Please take those message with a grain of salt.  Before you pass any of this junk along, please check www.snopes.com yourself.

NEW: Doc's Place
