You have probably already gotten notice on this already... These types of messages have been hitting many of the lists that I am on. There is no way that anything attached to an email message can wipe out anyone's system. There are several orgs. that track these hoaxes I will give you there url's. Check them there first and then send a message back to everyone that you sent to and then back up to the ones that you got it from. I remember the first time I got one of these and did the same as you until an kind soul gave me this info. http://kumite.com/myths or http://ciac.llnl.gov/ select Hoaxes on this cite.

VIRUS ON THE LOOSE I recently received a warning from an international source about 2 worldwide viruses that infect one's hard drive and either deletes the contents and/or causes it to crash completely. They show up as e-mail with the following labels: JOIN THE CREW and PENPAL GREETINGS The defense against them is to delete them completely (including from your files) unopened. If you open them, the cat (or in this case virus) is out of the bag. Just thought I would pass along the warning. A big hello to those of you with whom I have not been in contact lately. Vietta Keith
