Email does not carry virus, email attachments do! Do not open the attachments! Riley G

DD: This is a virus hoax (a 'social' virus much like a chain letter, rather than a computer virus). See: mcafee.com umich.edu av.ibm.com

Those alerts have been around as long as the internet in one form or another. Virii can only exist in executable programs. They cannot be embedded, and made to run, in email messages or graphic images (the two most often incorrectly-blamed targets). The only way to get a virus via email is via an attached file. And then, only if you intentionally launch the attached file. Anytime an attached file is received in an unsolicited email, the attached file should not be launched. I've never received a viral attachment, and I've got hundreds of thousands of messages archived here.
