Can somebody check this out. I seem to remember a virus warning about ELF BOWLING GAME--coming through at work. I think it is suppose to carry a function that will trash the hard drive 01012000. If I am wrong, multiple apologies.

The virus is a hoax. Read the site before you download the game if you don't believe me.
