Yes,
This is a virus message and I was attacked when I opened its.
Below is what Symantec says about it.
>WARNING! New virus surfaces on the Internet!
>
>Worm.ExploreZip(pack) is a new version of Worm.ExploreZip.
>
>** This virus SHOULD BE CONSIDERED DANGEROUS! **
>Once the attachment is opened/executed, it will unpacked itself and
>execute the original Worm.ExploreZip routine. It might display an
>error message informing the user that the file is not a valid
>archive.
>
>The worm proceeds to copy itself to the c:\windows\system directory
>with the filename "Explore.exe" and then modifies the WIN.INI file
so
>that the program is executed each time Windows is started. The worm
>then utilizes your e-mail client to harvest e-mail addresses in
order
>to propagate itself. Users may notice that their e-mail client
>launches when this occurs.
