I went to Hoax Busters to see if they had anything on this but they didn't, but I always say better to be safe than sorry.

VIRUS ALERT!! http://www.snopes.<wbr title="http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/zafi.asp">com/computer/<wbr title="http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/zafi.asp">virus/zafi.<wbr title="http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/zafi.asp">asp

You should be alert during the next days:
Do not open any message with an attached file called 'Merry Christmas'
regardless of who sent it, It is a virus that opens as an Open Log
Fire
and will burn the whole hard disc in your computer.

This virus will be received from someone who has your e-mail address
in his/her contact list, that is why you should send this e-mail to
all
your contacts. It is better to receive this message 25 times than to
receive the virus and open it.

If you receive a mail called 'Merry Christmas', though sent by a
friend, do
not open it and shut down your computer immediately. This is the worst
virus announced, it has been classified by Microsoft as the most
destructive virus ever.

This virus was discovered by McAfee yesterday, and there is no repair
yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector
of the Hard Disc, where the vital information is kept.

It's O.K., son sent me an email with the link Constance posted showing that it is a hoax. Edna's right, these things are hard to keep up with, and with all the scum out there inventing the virus infected email's, it pays to be cautious. You had my back and I appreciate it.
