Always good to keep an eye on what you're downloading, but this wasn't an official Misrosoft announcement.

been around a while this one, there are more Virus alert hoaxs than any other.

People forwarding on this message by email were responsible for bringing down thousands of email servers around the world by forwarding too much mail ! - So this warning is a virus in its self!

Leave as sticky so people know this warning is a hoax

For stoping viruses and spy/ad/malware, you want to get a copy of Kaspersky (www.kaspersky.co.uk) - I've never come across a package that works better but uses as little system resources!
