Why not just post a link to more information? Why should I email you?

I was going to ask the same thing. Instead of wasting time with e-mailing for info I went to the almighty Google:

Isn't this one of the million canned virus hoxes we see every month???

Popeye, this has several characteristics that are consistance with mass email hoaxes that attempt to get/or verify your email address. Some even carry virus payloads themselves. I assume you got this in an email message from a friend. What was the original email header?

Fizzer has been around for a while and was down graded to medium in May by McAfee. I forgot to post that in my last mesage but the wording in the content and the person asking for an email address is suspicious of hoaxes.
