This is 2 years old, Rosebud.

Any decent antivirus program would find and delete it.

Do not worry.   :) :)

Not a virus - just a hoax email from people with nothing better to do.

Without boring you too much regarding malware any email that has the words

PLEASE FORWARD THIS WARNING AMONG FRIENDS, FAMILY AND CONTACTS

is always rubbish and can be just deleted

Agreed Glow. 

And if you ever need to check whether something is real or a hoax, just visit a reputable anti virus site www.nai.com or similar and check in their library (go to Threat Centre and search for the name of the "threat").

If anyone knows, THEY know.
