I'm really sick and tired of all these FAKE virus warnings. There is no
way a virus could format your harddrive from opening an e-mail. The only
way a virus could be passed by e-mail was if the sender file attached an
executable or an infected document that the user ran before scanning it.
Sorry, this is fake.
