Joking aside, Mr Magoo - better safe than sorry so nice one but always make sure you google things like this first because it can lead to mass hysteria

it's quite easy to spot a hoax anyway. Look at the whole email and pull it apart - absolutely laughable.
When was yesterday afternoon?
Most destructive? Nothing on the news!
Use of language? Totally amateur.
etc etc etc

These are no better than chain letters

Circulate this notice to your friends, family and contacts! In the coming days, warning: do not open any message with an attachment called Archive (Windows live) regardless of who sends it to you. This is a virus that burns the entire hard disk. This virus comes from a known person you have in your mailing list, which is why you should send this message to all your contacts. If you receive a message called: updating Windows live, even if it is sent by a friend, do not open the computer and stop immediately. This is the worst virus announced by CNN. It has been classified by Microsoft as the most destructive virus ever existed. The virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee. and there is no chance of repair for this type of virus. It simply destroys Sector Zero of the hard disk. Just copy and paste.
