From AOL on virus hoaxes (including "Join the Crew"):
Virus alerts and warnings are hard to resist, especially when they come from friends, and, as is often the case, from co-workers or supervisors at work. Most of us have received one or more alerts in email.
Penpal Greetings, Meme or anti-CDA, Irina, Good Times, Deeyenda Maddick, Ghost, Make Money Fast, NaughtyRobot, 14.4 modem and PKZIP30, Death69, Microsoft Home Page or Red Alert, Free Money, Matra R-440 Crotale, Moment of Silence, YUKON3U, Hacker Riot, and Hackingburgh are not viruses. They are time-consuming bad jokes and fabrications, known as hoaxes. AOL4Free is a special case.
You can stop the spread of panic. Please do not follow instructions to forward warnings about any of these hoaxes on to other people.
The buttons to the right will take you to some of the best of the hoax authorities on the Web. If we can be of assistance, please feel free to contact the Macintosh Virus Information Center at any time with a post to the message board.
