These are bogus warnings, they are chain letters and not true. Goto:
www.symantec.com , or www.mcaffee.com which are virus protection softtware
companies to verify ALL virus warnings. These sites (and many others like
them) maintain a list of the currect REAL viruses and the MANY hoaxes out
there. As the the site that hack into your hard drive, it doesnt really,
only you when you visit the site can see your hard drive contents. Its a
harmless prank.

Get informed - BE an informed user of the internet.

messages/lies)
