I know this is off topic.

There is a New E-Mail Virus that just came out on May 2- 05. It is called WIN 32.SOBER.N WORM.

This Virus is coming in E-Mails that are saying hear is Your Passworn or it looks like it is coming from a Mail Return System or hear is the Information you Requested.

It took me 3 hours to remove the virus off of my computer, I had to go back to restore and then I was able to remove it with my virus scan.

And so far today I had 32 E-Mails come in that had this Virus in it. And I use E-mail for my Business.

I just wanted to let you know this Virus is out there. So watch out for it.

I am now up to 56 E-Mails with this virus in it today. I have stoped everyone of them. I would love to get my hands on the S.O.B. that writes this stuff up. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_mad.gif
