This is a HOAX. Unfortunately HOAXes like these are almost as bad as
real viruses and they spread manually almost as fast as the automatic
real viruses.
We received this same email in the office Tuesday and a quick look at
McAfee web site proved this to be a HOAX. We were talking to Symatec
support on a separate issue and they are working on their answer to the
HOAX as well. It is on their web site today.
Please take a minute and check a couple of web sites to see if this is
REAL or a HOAX before spreading to the world. We use Norton -
www.sarc.com - drop down to the area titled encyclopedia and select
Virus Hoaxes - key in a key word for the virus you are looking for and
you are there.
