If you receive an email message stating that your machine is infected with a virus, e.g.

“you have just received the [FILL IN THE VIRUS NAME HERE] … This virus works on the honor system .

Please delete all the files from your hard drive and manually forward this virus to everyone on your mailing list”

Solution: This is NOT A VIRUS. Delete the email and ignore the message.
