It's a hoax.

DO NOT OPEN "NEW PICTURES OF FAMILY" It is a virus that will erase your whole "C" drive. It will come to you in the form of an E-Mail from a familiar person.
I repeat a friend sent it to me, but called & warned me before I opened it.He was not so lucky and now he cant even start his computer! Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this 25 times than not at all.
Also: Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered recently.
If you receive an email called "FAMILY PICTURES," do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link
libraries (.dll files) from your computer. Your computer will not be able to boot up.
Please ignore any messages regarding this hoax and do not pass on messages. Passing on messages about the hoax only serves to further propagate it.
