Pretty Park virus?

[Demo]

I got an e-mail this morning warning not to open certain e-mails:

DO NOT OPEN “PRETTY PARK” It is a virus that will erase your whole “C” drive.
It will come to you in the form of an E-mail from a familiar person. I repeat, a friend sent it to me, but called & warned me before I opened it. He was not so lucky and now he cant even start his computer! Forward this to everyone in your address book. I would rather receive this 25 times than not at all.
Also:
Intel announced that a new and very destructive virus was discovered recently. If you receive an email called "An Internet Flower For You,"do not open it. Delete it right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries
(.dll files) from your computer.Your computer will not be able to boot up.
SEND THIS TO EVERYONE ON YOUR CONTACT LIST!!

My first thought was that it was a hoax, but it seems to check out at Symantec and I found some more information here.

Pardon me if this is old news. Supposedly it is going around again…

And no smart ass comments about it being a worm, and not a virus you pedantic bastards!

As someone who really doesn’t keep up with computer news or whatever, I didn’t know about this. I didn’t even know about “ILOVEYOU” until waaaaaay after it started. I think it was already all figured out by the time I heard about it. Thanks for the “heads up”, Demo.
