Thanks, Actually I just concern about the virus spreading over the net.
There is no virus that can infect a computer by just opening an e-mail, but the virus can be transmitted by attachment
of files in the e-mail (trojan horse) such as MS word/execution files. Maybe the person who firstly send the e-mail
virus hoax meant that we do not open the attachment of that e-mail, not the e-mail itself.
this is the URL on e-mail virus hoax:

this is the URL about antivirus that can detect virus attach in the e-mail attachment.
