Hi Mr. Gilbert: 

While searching AOL for news regarding this virus, I came upon your
webpage regarding virus hoaxes (just like this one).  I searched Microsoft
& Compaq & saw no reference to either.  

Just thought you'd like to add this to your growing list.  BTW thanks for
the list, just what people like me need; easy to read & no techno jargon
that makes our simple pea-brains explode!
