>>>IBM posted a warning about a boot sector trojan horse virus that will infect your system. It comes thru e-mail that has a PENPAL subject. If you get an email like this DELETE it without reading it. Reading it activates the virus and infects your system. It will destroy your boot sector information!

>>A virus cannot be spread by merely opening an email. If a virus were to be spread via email it would have to be by some type of executeable attachment that you save and then run. The Penpal virus is a hoax that has been around for some time.
