| Someone forwarded this to me this morning. Looks like it's real: While browsing the web with Internet Explorer, a notice is given to press your F1 key. It will release a potent virus in your computer. . . if you don't press F1, you will be reminded until you do. . .just click on the little 'x' on the window, or close your browser totally - might even be better to reboot. Click on the SNOPES link below for further confirmation at of this threat. Do not press the F1 key no matter how many times your computer asks you too. Check Snopes > > > http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/f1key.asp | |

| Fife-inator...it's spelled "to" in your last sentence.  Yeah, I'd heard that, but I don't use IE, so I'm hoping I'm safe. My McAfee's all green so far, so they haven't nailed Firefox yet. | |
