Hello,
This is not a virus, it is a hoax..a way to get someone to do damage to
their own computer.

Hello everyone,
Please read below regarding a virus which was passed on to us by someone
who had us in their address book. So sorry! We did as the instructions said
to do and DID find the virus (which means that you probably have it,too,
because that's how it's passed on.) It remains dormant for 14 days then
kills your hard drive - so please do this RIGHT away! It's easy to delete if
you just follow the instructions below. And then pass this on to all of
those in your address book, too.
