Always amazing, these virus alerts.  This latest about Join the Crew is
nothing new and is a hoax, as all these virus alerts are.

Hint:  check with the Dept. of Energy's Computer Incident Advisory
Capability (CIAC) at ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/

They keep track of hoaxes like this and you can avoid spreading the virus
alert equivalent of spamming by checking with verifiable and reputable
organizations such as the above or the major virus companies such as McAfee
and Dr. Solomon.

When you see a virus alert -- assume it is a hoax until proven otherwise.
 Don't contribute to spamming.
