Yes, as far as is known, at the moment it is impossible. However as
new viruses are developed all the time it may well be that such a
virus is either in development or will be developed shortly.

Personally I'd rather be safe than sorry. I would feel pretty stupid
if I ignored such a message and someone actually had developed a
virus that would do this. As far as I'm concerned, unless you have
definite knowledge that a specific message is a hoax, please
continue to circulate these messages just in case.
Thanks,
