If you receive an email titled "JOIN THE CREW", 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 received yesterday morning
from IBM; please share it with everyone that might access the internet.
Once again, pass this along to EVERYONE in your address book so that
this may be stopped. 
Also, do not open or even look at any mail that says "RETURNED  OR
UNABLE TO DELIVER"! This virus will attach itself to your computer
components and render them useless. Immediatley delete any mail items
that say this.
AOL has said that this is a very dangerous virus and that there is NO
remedy for it at this time.
Please practice cautionary measures and forward this to all your online
friends ASAP!
