Possible e-mail virus

Has anyone heard anything about an e-mail virus connected with the World Trade Centre and 9/11 with "WTC Survivor" in the subject line. According to an e-mail from a friend it wipes your C Drive. She has sent me info before on e-mail viruses that are spurious, so I thought it best to check with you the experts.

Re: Possible e-mail virus

It's a hoax:

(Try a google on virus and "wtc survivor")

Edit: Any virus warning that suggests forwarding the warning to everybody in your address book is likely to be a hoax...
