These messages tell you not to open any message entitled "GOOD TIMES" or "JOIN THE CREW", etc otherwise you risk having your hard disk erased. These virus warnings are HOAXES. They are viruses in their own right in the way they circulate around the world for many years as users unsuspectingly forward them on to everybody else they know. The only way to beat these warnings is through user education. Users should follow two simple rules: 1) In Email, you cannot get a computer virus through opening an email message. You can only get a virus when running or opening an attachment. 2) If a virus warning or other story originates from the Internet, it is invariably untrue.
