No probs, better safe than sorry. Log Fire is one of the classic hoaxes. Your warning email will claim that it can do some very nasty, and usually impossible, damage to your hard disk. It will also suggets that a company like Microsoft or AOL has warned about it, and that Norton and McAfee are unable to deal. You will then be asked to mail the warning to all your friends. Hoaxes are a pain in the arse.

Best advice is to keep your anti-virus/anti-spyware up to date, and NEVER open any attachements on emails unless you're sure what they are and where they came from.

Unless they come attached to an email from umbongabong bonga III who father died, leaving millions in a bank account he cannot access...
