Dear sustran-discussers

Before forwarding a virus warning to everyone in your address book,
please take time to check if the warning is bonafide or a hoax.
This is easy to do if you have web access.  Do a search on virus
hoaxes or the name of the virus.  Here is one good page for
checking hoaxes - http://www.Europe.DataFellows.com/virus-info/

It seems that 99.9% of these "breathless"-sounding virus warnings are hoaxes.
