Wow.  Yet another non-electronic virus!

The instructions are totally useless.  What is interesting is that the
instructions in themsleves are a virus.  It simply relies on good souls to
keep on forwarding it.

To avoid spreading computer viruses,
create a contact in your e-mail address book
with the name

10000 Virus Attack

"with no e-mail address in the details".

This contact will then show up as your first contact.
If a virus attempts to do a "send all" on your contact list,
your PC will put up an error message saying:

"The Message could not be sent. One or more recipients
do not have an e-mail address. Please check your Address
Book and make sure all the recipients have a valid e-mail address."

You click on OK and the offending (virus) message would
not have been sent to anyone. Of course, make no changes
to your original contacts list.

The offending (virus) message may then be moved to your
"Drafts" or "Outbox" folder. Go there and delete the offending
message.
Problem is solved and virus is not spread.

Try this and pass on to your e-mail contacts.
