Hoaxes pass by and look. Here's a variation that I just received:
ssage I just received:

==== ======================= TITLE ==================

Virus Alert?!
or
very urgent notice

---------------------- ----------- CONTENT ----------

PLEASE MAIL THIS MAKE TRAVEL AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY, CONTACTS. Be very

vigilant in the days to come! Do not open any message with a file called WORLD CUP 2006, regardless of anyone who sends you. This virus will come from a known person who has your name in their address book, why you should send this message to all your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to receive the virus by opening it. If you receive a mail called WORLD CUP 2006: do not open it and shut down your computer immediately! This is the worst virus that we have ever known, CNN announced its existence in the news, Microsoft has been ranked as the pest that it or have ever existed. The virus was recently discovered by McAfee and no antivirus virus destroys Sector Zero from the hard drive, where we keep the information vital to their operation.

SEND COPY COPY THIS E-MAIL ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND CONTACTS. ON THE MOVE WHICH WE HELP EVERYONE.

------------------- ----------------- END OF MESSAGE

Now a small practical exercise:

1. Compare this message with that of the "Olympic Torch" of April 4, 2006. Count 1 point for similarity.
2. The message says "This virus will a known person who has your name in their address book . "Question: How could you send this virus if it does not have your name in their address book?
3. and continues" why you should send this message to all your contacts . Question: Do you find it ironic that in the same sentence you said you get this virus from a friend and write to ALL your friends?
4. The message also threatens " The virus destroys the Zero Sector of the Hard Disk in which we keep the information vital to their operation. "This is probably one of the most threatened animals around. If for some reason or another your sector 0 was deleted, you can just re-write this famous area zero by typing " Fdisk / mbr . (Ref: Microsoft )
5. Finally, an existential question: What are you after receiving the virus and unplugged your computer as required by this message? Hmmm? In this case, you contact me and mention this blog to receive a substantial discount! :-)

Good day!
