Ah-ha! The Penpal Greetings virus hoax and two others as well. Looks very
much like the Good Times virus hoax. It is not possible to be hit by a
virus while reading an email using any current email software since the
contents of the email are treated as data by the software. Of course,
opening an attachment to an email is a very different story, especially if
you do not use McAfee or other anti-virus software.
If you would like to read more on the topic of virus myths try the Computer
Virus Myths home page on http://kumite.com/myths/and when you have
finished there you can check out the America OnLine Good Times Hoax FAQ on
http://users.aol.com/macfaq/goodtimes.html which gives both history and
typical impacts experienced.
Hope this prevents unnecessary worry.
Regards,
Peter

It looks like our virus friends are back. Please make a note of the
following names of viruses and DO NOT open any e-mail that contains them.
The first one has surfaced before, but the others are new.
From the National Academy of Sciences Computer Services.
Important Notice
WARNING! If you receive an e-mail titled, "JOIN THE CREW", do not
open it! It will erase EVERYTHING on your hard drive. Send this letter out
to
as many people you can...this is a new virus and not many people know about
it.
This information was received this morning from IBM, please share it
with anyone that might access the internet.
Also, if anyone receives mail entitled, "PENPAL GREETINGS", please
delete it WITHOUT reading it! This is a warning for all internet users.
There
is a dangerous virus propagating across the internet through an e-mail
message entitled "PENPAL GREETINGS"!!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD ANY MESSAGE ENTITLED "PENPAL GREETINGS". This
message appears to be a friendly letter asking you if you are interested in
a
penpal, but by the time you read this letter, it is too late. The Trojan
Horse Virus will have already infected the boot sector of your hard drive,
destroying all of the data present. It is a self-replicating virus, and
once the
message is read, it will AUTOMATICALLY forward itself to anyone whose
e-mail
address is present in your mailbox.
The virus will DESTROY your hard drive and holds the potential to
DESTROY the hard drive of anyone whose mail is in your mailbox and who's
mail is
in their mailbox and so on. If this virus keeps getting passed, it has the
potential to do a great deal of DAMAGE to computer networks worldwide!!
Please delete the message entitled "PENPAL GREETINGS" as soon as you
see it! And pass this message along to all of your friends, relatives and
the
other readers of the newsgroups and mailing lists, which you are on so that
they are not harmed by this dangerous virus!
Please pass this along to everyone you know so this can be stopped.
This is a new virus going around in the last couple of days! DO NOT open
or
even look at any mail that you get that says:"RETURNED OR UNABLE TO
DELIVER"
This virus will attach itself to your computer components and render them
useless. Immediately delete any mail items that say this. AOL has said
this
is a very dangerous virus and there is NO remedy for it at this time.
Please
be careful.
FORWARD THIS ASAP TO EVERY SINGLE PERSON YOU KNOW!!!
