Hi Phil, This is a hoax. You might have noticed it asks you to do what it claims the virus will do - email everyone in your contacts list. Giveaways include: Snopes is an urban legends website, not an antivirus researcher, CNN is not a credible source of announcements of new viruses and there are conflicting descriptions of what the alleged virus does.
