What a crock. Why would they tell us not to go his his site, then list the

You cannot loose everything from opening an email. Do not run any
attachments from people you don't know, especially if they are .exe files.
The way these warnings spread makes them the virus because they waste of
everyones time. I don't bother reading them. And Microsoft doesn't announce
any virus warnings. If they did, there would be a date, not "announced
yesterday". Don't bother with this sort of crap.

It has got nothing to do with trains too!
