Symantec Security Response encourages you to ignore any messages regarding this hoax. It is harmless and is intended only to cause unwarranted concern.
and...
AVERT HOAX Notice!!
McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX.
This email message is just a HOAX, currently we know of no other message that the user will receive about the HOAX as the initial email states. AVERT has not received any report of a user's hard drive being erased for opening the email.
We are advising users who receive the email to delete it and DO NOT pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.

Can't believe everything that comes in your email! TY WildIrish!
Maybe we need a thread for URLS to confirm these messages people get.

Yup, for sure! Cause the one you don't tell everyone about is the one that blows them up. Murphy's law!

Absofuckinlutely!
There is a special circle in Hell reserved for virus authors! I have a hard time imagining the total labor consumed to repair the damage done by those SOBs!
That is to say that I dislike these people very much.
