And there's me thinking that everybody in the World must have already seen that hoax ! Watch out for the Yellow Teddy virus one as well, they've both been doing the rounds for years.

Passing on warnings from a mate "tell every one you KNOW" is doing what a virus does, like a chain letter, it clogs up the system.....

Please do a google search if you get a virus warning. I typed in "It takes guts to say Jesus" and found the following on the Symantec website Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern.

I never open any e-mails unless I know who they are from. Anything with an odd subject heading arouses my suspicion straightaway.

Received an email from a friend with reference a virus, quoting the above. Apparantly it arrives by announcing in your email "It takes guts to say Jesus". Anyone else in receipt of such info, regards, Derek in France
