virus alert



Hi everyone.  I recently got this message from my daughter in ThunderBay, Ontario.  Do these viruses happen often?  I also got a similar alert months ago 
regarding "Pen Pals" and "Join the Crew".

>If you receive an email titled "WIN A HOLIDAY" DO NOT open it. It will erase everything on your hard drive. Forward this letter out to as many people as you can. This is a new, very malicious virus and not many people know about it. This information was announced on the 18th February morning from Microsoft; please share it with everyone that might access the Internet.

This virus will attach itself to your computer components and render them useless. Immediately DELETE any mail items that say this. AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO remedy for it at this time. Please practice cautionary measures and forward this to all your on-line friends ASAP.
