VIRUS ALERT is a HOAX

I received an alert from Macafee (virus scan company) which confirmed that this email is a HOAX. DO NOT delete the specified file or it will prevent your WINDOW program from working.
(NOTE by the way the address from which this hoax originated. Gives a hint.)
Best wishes

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I've received the attached alert on a virus scheduled for 6/1/01. Although
not verified as a legitimate alert, please be cautious.
