Oh no, I opened the mail read it and then guess what? Nothing happens!

its a hoax, in fact it is classed as a virus.

Seriously saying the anti-virus would not pick it up is a load of bull.

If it was real i am sure norton etc would get it added in the next update (which is daily anyway)

Do you lot remember the whole MSN is closing one! LMAO and the link to the BBC.

It's just a shame it's not a real virus, we could all forward it to the email scammers...

The ones I get most are the various urban myth ones with the usual 'tell everyone' print in foot high letters..yeah right, as if I want to lose all my computer savvy friends!

I go further than saying these viral emails are annoying, I think they are in themselves nasty and vicious and 'friends' that send them to me tend to get a rather grumpy reply back. I will never forgive someone for printing one off and giving it to my dear MIL and frightening her half to death. It was the one about foreign burgulars hacking into the green BT boxes and listening through your home phone to tell if you went out so they could break in and wait for you to get back..it had the added bonus of suggesting that calling anyone to ask them to come over just notified these people that you were on to them..and my MIL sat in terrified silence for more than 24 hours till that appalling neighbour admitted it was a internet hoax.

There is a general rule of thumb that any email that says "This is no joke, pass it on to all your friends" will be a chain-email that you should delete. If you do pass it on, all you will be doing is clogging up people's in-boxes with garbage.
