Thank you for your concern but what is being posted here is the same old
chain email warning about this or that virus (the name is unimportant)
that will arrive in your inbox and magically delete or your files if you
open it. Such a virus does not exist. Did YOU read the Snopes article?
The person would have to open a pdf and then agree to download a screensaver
before this specific malware was installed.
The SEND IT TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW IMMEDIATELY is always a dead giveaway.
It's just a chain email. People who forward these things on are well-intentioned
but if everyone did it then the internet would soon be completely clogged
with email warnings.
Rule of thumb:
If it says you should pass it on, then don't.
