I don't believe it. Not bad enough my computer-illiterate relatives send me e-mail virus hoax messages, now they're posted on UT too!
This is a pet peeve of mine, sorry.
Please look at the web site:
http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/ciachoaxes.html for information about this specific hoax, and the long list of other known internet virus warning, and other internet e-mail hoaxes. There's also a link from
http://ciac.llnl.gov/ciac/ to a list of chain-letter hoaxes.
