Turns out this virus warning is actually a hoax.  Thanks Mike!  We can all rest easier now.  Feel free to look at your family's pictures.  :-)

I just looked at Sophos.com and found that this Virus warning is actually a hoax. The link can be found at:

                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.
                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.
