New Family Pictures Virus: Confirmed Hoax

[Guest guest]

From VMyths.com, a virus confirmation site:

Family Pictures virus

A hoax virus alert created as a direct rip-off of the PrettyPark virus alert

chain letter. The hoaxster merely changed " PrettyPark " to " Family Pictures. "

Like PrettyPark, it claims Intel issued the alert, and it urges people to

" forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this

25 times than not at all. "

Two variations of this hoax already exist. One calls it the " New Family

Pictures " virus; another calls it the " New Pictures of Family " virus.
