While it was a very good idea to post this, according to McAfee's
site, it's a 'hoax'. Nevertheless, it's always best to simply delete
any attachments that bear an .exe extension be it sent by friend or
foe. Hoaxes can be equally distructive where some will begin to be
complacent and think any and all attachments or 'such and such sent
you a card' messages are hoaxes and get burned by a bonafide virus.
People will never learn where some continue to forward any and all
audio / video clips and jokes as soon as they receive them in their
email box. Astonishingly, some still ignore the admonishment to scan
their email for viruses as they come in. Aside from the two 'biggies'
Norton and McAfee, I might suggest an A.V. program you can download
for free with free updates. It's called AVAST. This is their website

Toasterwoman told me about it some time ago where she favors it over
NAV or Mc because both of them are system resource hogs extrodinare. I
concur that AVAST is more efficient as far as using resources and
excellent at catching any crap that comes in.

Just my two cents plain.
