This new series of e-mails might not even be the virus, but rather a hoax warning about the virus that really did go around a year ago (and probably still gets stuck in someone's computer now and again). In other words, it's directing you to a warning about an old problem that isn't likely to still be much of a problem anymore... however that "e-mail this to everyone you know!!!!1111oneoneone1111~~" nonsense at the bottom is helping to propagate the e-mail, without even needing a coded virus.

The lazy man's virus - just send an e-mail to a few suckers and tell them they have to send it to everyone on their address book.
