A hoax. The following is full text of one such email:

For your info:

Dear All, Pls be caution, If you receive any CELCOM Screen Saver. Pls do not install it !!!!!! It is actually a virus software attached to it. It can't be detected. This screensaver is very cool. It shows a NOKIA handphone, with time and messages. After it activated, the pc cannot boot up at all. It goes very very slow. It even destroy your hard disk. Have to reinstall everything again........ Pls do not use the program. Delete it as soon as possible. Even in your e-mails....... By the way, the filename is CELLSAVER.EXE

Remember, hoaxes cost companies - and people - time and money. Please do not forward them to others.
