I, too, am quite sure that this is unreal. I have received many hoax e-mails that begin with the words "There is a new virus going around..." The form is so similar to its predecessors and follows the typical hoax format.
Each time a supervirus or worm of this purported magnitude has come out, the media has been all over it, reporting day and night. Check it it and within a few days, it will be listed on a hoaxbuster website.
