Cousins,
This is a true virus. I have received many of this type lately, saying I
have received a greeting card from a classmate, etc. Check it out at Snoops
at the link below. They say it is a REAL VIRUS, not a HOAX.
I thought you might find the following article from
snopes.com interesting:

I rarely send messages like this to these lists, but one of the lists I
manage, one of the perpetrators (spell that Hacker) tried to send one of
these messages to our family lists. I think that I have blocked them from
access, but on that particular list, the original message may have made it
through.
I don't want to start up a whole string of "Virus" messages, this is simply
being sent out as a result of the attempt to gain access to our group by
that person(s) and the information from
Snopes.com is verification of the
same.
Now go find the answer to the raod block you're working on in your genealogy
research.
