Danger, Will Robinson!
Even though most email users these days have anti-virus programs installed, from time to time messages appear warning about a new virus that’s doing the rounds and imploring you to forward the message to all your contacts.
Ignore them. They’re hoaxes. The only positive thing they might achieve is to encourage the few people who don’t have anti-virus software to get some. But the “threats” they’re warning about are usually non-existent. And the more malicious of them give bogus instructions on how to “protect” your machine, by deleting harmless or even system-crucial files.
