Re: New Malicious virus. Attacks Macs too. And Linux as well as windows


Hi,

This warning is a hoax.  According to this website,
Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore
any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and
is intended only to cause unwarranted concern.

Thank you and have a nice day!!
