Jonathan,

I don't think Harold meant that you or Beit Berl intentionally perpetrated a 
hoax. He meant that the virus warning had been identified as a hoax 
perpetrated 
by persons unknown, that the virus does not exist, and suggested that we not 
pass the warning on.

The URL about this virus hoax was cited by Harold:

<http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/wobbler-hoax.html>

I checked it out and the web page does indeed identify the WOBBLER virus as a 
hoax.

Symantec.com is one of the best sites for official information about viruses, 
real (or virtual! :-)

Blessings,

Kirk
