I believe you may have fallen for an hoax.

Here is the current threat list from Symantec: http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html#threat_list

Also - go to the L list and you can see that you have received a hoax:

Anytime any email says "send this to all your friends" there is a 99.999999% chance it is spam / a hoax.

Actually, there's a few viruses that only appear on NSXprime...

1) the MYNSX virus ... causes the one post to be posted on three different forums.

2) the <B>PHOE<FONT COLOR=red>N$X</FONT></B> virus... which infects almost all threads with a funny or kool comment.

3) the NSXTASY virus... which is polymorphic - it propogates VERY rapidly and recently mutated into the "real nsxtasy" virus. Forunately the old virus strain was stopped at 9999 instances.

4) the 8000RPM virus... the effects are quite 'nasty'

5) the <B><Font color=red>Neo</font>NSX</B> virus... which frequently dumps crap like this on a thread!!!


i could write more... but i better not... for now...
