It's a scam.
Read it - it makes no sense. these things usually say things like "Yesterday, CNN warned of" - if it doesn't include a DATE and a VALID link to the article on the web, don't generally trust it.
Put simply, don't be stupid - never open attachments from people you don't know. Don't use Outlook/Outlook Express for e-mail without having GOOD antivirus software installed. Then you should be ok.
And reference the hoax lists before forwarding them.

Thanks for the warning.
Just think: if all of those virus-spawners would use their brains to develop something to do good instead of cause problems...
