I keep these old messages here mostly because people keep finding them in Web searches, and I hate broken links. Most of those searches are about the FunLove virus, or the "Elf Bowl" game. These old postings should not be considered authoritative on those subjects!

For information on FunLove, I suggest anti-virus Web sites, like this and this. If you're wondering if the Elf Bowl game is a virus, try here or here. For Elf Bowl and related games, try a Google search, or perhaps some possibly related website like this or this.

Just wondered if you've heard any more about the elf bowl virus "hype". (I saw your report on http://www.av.ibm.com/AlertFrame/alertframe.html)

I received this game and scanned it before running. My kids have since reported some problems but you know how kids are.... nothing written down, no good descriptions ("I got this message Dad, about something. I clicked on the 'x'.")

Please let me know if I should be concerned. Have a good holiday!
