Thanks so much for the warning I am going to pass it on to my family and friends.

Thanks for the warning....anne

Thanks Megan, send it to Fam. and Friends !

I searched CNN's website and couldn't find anything about it being "announced as the worst virus"

I also found some sites that said the email was a hoax.

Gosh, who can we believe anymore??? I REALLY don't wanna lose my hard drive!

It's a real virus, although not as bad as initially thought.
