Carpenter is right. This is a hoax, I've received dozens of these last
year. The trouble they cause is that sometimes people delete files which
belong to the system. I never send these alarms. The best thing to do in
case U receive these messages is to go to the Mcafee or Norton (Symantec)
site to check it.
