Please don't pass this warning on. It is a hoax.

Always be wary of forwarding on these types of messages. I've been on the net for 8 years and have received hundreds of similar warnings - all hoaxes.
Watch for the following characteristics:
- appeals to some authority (our IT section, IBM or micro$oft)
- warns of dire consequences (will invite your mother-in-law to stay)
- urges you to forward on to everyone you know immediately
Simply delete the warning message, or if you are very concerned, do a quick search on the internet and you will soon turn up details on the hoax.
Cheers
