It's a hoax, apparently.

Oh well....what do you know.....it is a hoax thanks. I did not know that.

Funny thing. I never belive anything that asks to forward it to people you know. In fact, upon seeing that I delete it. I go by headlines on newspages not emails.

lol, I remember this from like 3 years ago.

Good idea. My grandparents love sending out warnings like that to everybody. Then I have to tell them it was a hoax

There are a few sites that deal with monitoring hoaxes. I don't worry too much because Trend Micro updates at least once a day and sends warnings when there is an outbreak, asking if you want to update...

another thing suspicious would be calling something "Sector Zero"

wtcrap is sector zero?

There IS
