this is a hoax - see

on the Hoaxbusters site (www.hoaxbusters.ciac.org).
I think it's always best to check virus messages before passing them on.
We're likely to be alerted to any real threat by our own IS people before
getting an authentic message from outside. Hoaxes rely on people being
public-spirited and passing on the message, leading to multiple replica
messages being passed through the net, causing downgrading of speed etc.
Another source for checking is the Hoaxkill site:
