Virii don't need special software to get spread - this new psychological attack just says there's a really nasty virus around, copy this message to anyone you know.. but there's no such problem. If you get an email about this just delete it - unless you want to tell the sender s/he's been conned.

-and even warnings like this not to panic are serving the author's purpose to get everyone talking about it.
