Seems like an obvious Hoax, the grammar is all wrong in the e-mail unless you didn't transcribe it exactly. Some of the sentences don't make any sense as if it is written by someone who doesn't Speak english...hmmm

Wrong forum, I think, but yeah, it sounds like crap. A virus? You joking around, or is there some news I missed?
You didn't open the zip file, then?

It's definitely a virus that has been going around. My wife got the exact same e-mail yesterday regarding a completely different service provider.

I knew it was in the wrong forum I just didnt know where else to put it. hehe
I figured it was a hoax. Grammar was wrong and I havent done anything wrong anyway. Interesting though the Symantec link says Macs not affected. So why would they ask for my info.
Well thanks.. I was going to delete it anyway but its interesting nontheless.
So.. uh.. how about those powermacs.. nice machines huh. ehhe

So how does it spread? Does it affect Macs?

Have there actually been any Mac viruses/worms/etc. in the last 5 years?
