This is definitely a hoax.
The biggest give-away is the histerical language used.
It is, however, good practice to not open attachments unless you’re expecting something from someone.

Better to be open minded for the right things than to open our eyes, ears and hearts to the sewage of society. May all we be zoche to be real BTs :)

If these warnings were credible, they’d be on the evening news, radio, etc. It’s ludicrous to think that a company such as McAfee couldn’t just have their PR person call every TV station in town and get it announced. Rule of thumb: If the only way you’re hearing about something is e-mail, it’s probably a hoax. Companies who want to get across a message have people on staff full-time to get their messages in as many media as possible.

On the contrary. Non BTs are too credulous and accepting of dominant cultural norms. A little healthy skepticism with conventional wisdom is what gets most BTs Teshuva process rolling.

BTs are so gullible. After all, they’re BTs!

It is a hoax… http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/invitation.asp

It is however always a good idea to only open attachments you recognize.

I received it from one of our contributors and thought that it couldn’t hurt posting it. It’s always a good idea to be extremely cautious with attachments.

Since I have seen no such warning through my company’s IT group, I suspect this is an inauthentic chain letter.

It happened in 2004. You may be circulating an old warning.
