Brethren
I did receive an odd E-mail from a friend and proceeded to open it. 
Thanks to my daughter who gave me the Norton Anti virus package software
for Christmas, Mr Norton did advise me of the virus and I immediately
deleted and trashed the e-mail message.  Last night in the newspaper
there was an article on this very virus. So  it is obvious, get Mr
Norton and read and heed warnings and finally as Caesar said, "Et tu
Brute"  translated meaning you too can receive a virus from a friend.

Regards

Toad
