Thanks for the warning. I know that the Anna Kournikova is indeed 'real' because I
work for IBM and we had a warning about it yesterday.
There are still alot of virus hoaxes and this website is great for
verifying if a warning is real or if it's a hoax:
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html

Another real virus is about Snow White - I've actually received it but as long as you
don't open the attachment, you can't get infected. Here's the writeup from Symantec
about Snow White:

W95.Hybris.gen Discovered on: September 25, 2000
W95.Hybris is a worm that spreads by email as an attachment to outgoing email
messages.
The email message or subject may include the text "Snow White and the Seven dwarves,"
and the attachment may have one of several different names, including, but not limited
to:

anpo porn(.scr
atchim.exe
branca de neve.scr
dunga.scr
dwarf4you.exe
enano porno.exe
joke.exe
midgets.scr
sexy virgin.scr
