highvoltage Posted October 3, 2006 Share Posted October 3, 2006 (edited) The virus exists, yes - but it's also over 2 years old. It's no longer a threat, and these warnings aren't necessary (for any kind of virus, really). Edited October 3, 2006 by highvoltage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
