It is simply text. You CAN get a virus by downloading and opening software/files containing software usually of the self-extracting self-running type. please be careful before spreading these false warnings. Their spread, and the fear they cause, is the real virus invading the internet. charlie trentelman ogden, utah Date: Tue, 24 Aug 1999 13:45:16 CEST From: "Dewint Gilles" <zilopipo@hotmail.com> Subject: [Leica] WARNING VIRUS!!! hi folks, please, DO NOT OPEN any mail called "CALIFORNIA", it contains a virus that can't be solved, it explodes your Hard Disk!!! send this message to all people you know, thanx bye pipo
