A dangerous computer virus: Hoax or truth?

A few minutes ago I read the email message given below. As I can never be sure as to the truth of this matter and seeing that it requires urgent notification to everyone, I am posting it onto my blog so that all of you can be forewarned about this virus. To my thinking, if it is just a hoax, there's no harm in knowing about it. So read on and for those better informed ones, please let us know whether it is the truth or merely a hoax.
*********************************

In the coming days, DO NOT open any message with an attachment called: Black in the White House, regardless of who sent it to you. It is a virus that opens an Olympics torch that burns the whole hard disk C of your computer. This virus comes from a known person who you have in your list.

Directions: You should send this message to all of your contacts. It is better to receive this e-mail 25 times than to receive the virus and open it. If you receive a message called Black in the White House even if sent by a friend, do not open, and shut down your machine immediately.

It is the worst virus announced by CNN. This new virus has been discovered recently it has been classified by Microsoft as the virus most destructive ever.
This virus was discovered yesterday afternoon by McAfee. There is no repair yet for this kind of virus. This virus simply destroys the Zero Sector of the hard disk, where vital information function is stored.
