I repeat:

        *Sigh* It's a hoax folks

Please, whenever you get a message about a new virus,
please take a minute to find out if it's for real or not.

You'll notice the first 6 returns all contain the word "hoax"
in the title. And if you follow a few of the links, this hoax
warning has been in circulation since about June of this 
year.
