Hello! You can't get a virus from a simple email. If you get an
attachment to the email and it's an executable and you run it then, of
course, you are subject to possible infection. But a virus from a simple
text message, no way.

Hi, I just heard that there is some kind of E-mail virus going around
entitled "PENPAL GREETINGS". It looks like a harmless message, but as you read
it, it eats away at your hard drive. It also will send a copy of the virus to
all of the E-mail addresses you've saved. So if anybody gets a message with
this title, delete it as soon as possible.
