This one, for a change, is not a hoax.  A woman in my office has gotten it
also, and we got it cleaned off her machine before she was able to send it
out anywhere.  McAfee has support for it now, also.  Anyone using
Windows-based email clients that gets this file only needs to delete the
email message (Macs & Unix folks are safe, of course).  It can't hurt your
machine unless you run the program.
