RE: [GBlist] off topic-virus alert - not

[Kerryn Wilmot <kerrynw@mel.spowers.com.au>]

This is a hoax alert.  I believe that the file is a legitimate one
(copes with long file names) so it is not wise to delete it.

May I suggest that anyone who receives a virus alert should check its
validity before passing the message along.
