Default Virus Warning

Neither Norton Anti-Virus (Symantec), CIAC (Dept of Energy),
US-CERT (Dept of Homeland Security), CERT (Carnegie-Mellon), nor
CVE (Mitre) report such a threat.

According to CIAC, a valid warning has the following
characteristics:
* There is a link to a report at an authoritative source (e.g., a
member of FIRST http://www.first.org/ but not a news
organization).
* The warning is digitally signed (e.g., via PGP) so that its
origin can be authenticated and the integrity of its content can be
verified.
* It does not say, "Tell all your friends."
