If our members announced each one here, there'd be no room for any RVing discussion. So tell your friends via private email if you want (though I strongly recommend checking with www.snopes.com before passing on any warnings of this kind), but please don't post virus warnings here.Andy Baird http://www.andybaird.com/travels/
