Symantec Security Response - Irish Virus hoax

"The Irish Virus is a hoax and it should be ignored. The following is a sample of the hoax message:

Greetings, You have just received the "IRISH VIRUS". As we don't have any programming experience, this Virus works on the honour system. Please delete all the files on your hard drive manually and forward this Virus to everyone on your mailing list. Thank you for your cooperation."

That one gets me every time.
