Look at this before downloading.

The Associated Press Santa Clara

Network Associates, the manufacturer of McAfee Inc anti-virus products, reports a new and sinister virus in the wake of the I Love You bug. This Trojan horse infects computers when the user downloads an image of an allegedly lost child in response to the pathetic requests of her "parents."

The computer is devastated as a result and will only display images of milk cartons. The virus has been named the "milk carton bug."

Please ignore any messages regarding this "hoax" and do not pass on any messages regarding it. Passing on messages about this hoax serves only to further propagate it.
