David,
Since this message was sent to a lot of people on your mailing list, I'll
assume that _something_ hit your machine, but it wasn't the "ITGTSJ" virus.
Check http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/jesus-hoax.html . The
manual passing on of the hoax message _is_ the virus.

Every time anyone gets one of these "virus warnngs", check it against
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html . I'd swear that the techs in
major companies are the worst for passing on disinformation. Then when a
real problem like Melissa hits, people figure it's a hoax.

Cheers,
