Note...a virus can not be transmitted by simply opening an email.  This is
the same hoax as the "Good times" & "Join the Crew" virus which stated the
same things.

A virus can only be transmitted if there is an attached file and then it
must be run in order for any virus to attack. 

This is just one of those hoaxes that people forward around to
everyone...kind of like chain letters in a way.  :\

Have a great day!  :)
