Black in the White House Virus Hoax!

[nachoman]

That is way it vital to keep your virus protection updated-mine updates several times a day..

On a sad note one of my favorite sites (CSX Archives) is now being caution as being infected with threats.

My general rule is to never forward any chain letters, internet jokes, or ANY information that I am not certain its origin. My extended family has a habit of forwarding that stuff ad nauseum, many times they will send me that stuff thinking it is new, but I received a slightly different version ten years ago. I view it as some kid somewhere trying to make up a crazy something or another, and making a game of how many gullible people it can be forwarded to and how quickly the rumor spreads. I refuse to be part in their satisfaction. All of this stuff is the reason we have SPAM filters, and the reason SPAM filters get confused and sometimes junk a legitimate email. My filter treats anything with a subject beginning with FW: and from a name not in my address book as spam. If I lower the security, I get bombarded with the standard viagra ads and "help the guy in africa co-sign a check" scams. Chain emails and anything that says "forward to as many people..." are themselves viruses.
