It is a hoax, as is the Good Times, etc... The Pen pal, Good Times, etc. WARNING MESSAGE ITSELF IS THE VIRUS. You just participated in the virus. The virus is... to see how many people will send the VIRUS WARNING MESSAGE to other people. These warning messages are sent forever throughout the internet until everyone finally catches on. This can take years. You will never ever receive the Pen pals message. It doesn't exist! If it did, reading it could not have any effect on your boot tracks, or anything else in your computer. A message in not a program. A program has to EXECUTE in order to alter your system. The kind of e-mail messages we deal with do not contain executable programs, macros, or other means of wreaking havoc. This is no different than the TOTEM. Just say no. Do not send it on. Stop it dead in its tracks. Push delete! Jim
