Alan,
I'm not completely sure what messages you are refering to with your "warning", as you didn't include enough information to do an intelligent search. What I was able to locate on the Symantec Anti-Virus Site with the word "Hi" in the subject line, was the following information on yet another HOAX...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following message has been sent out by email. It is a hoax. This "virus" does not exist.
The hoax message includes the following "warning":

Do not open any mail with the subject line "hi". This is a new Outlook virus that is sweeping the country this afternoon. It resends the mail (with attachment) to everyone in your contact list.
