      If you receive an e-mail titled "PLEASE HELP POOR
      DOG.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 yesterday morning from Microsoft, please share it
      with everyone who might access the Internet.
then you have also been infected by a HOAX. This is the name for such virus warnings.
Fact is that such warnings are absolutely FALSE!
