There are two giveaways in this virus warning that it isn't genuine: 1. The reference to information "announced from IBM" with nothing specific about where in IBM it came from. 2. The fact that the virus is supposed to erase a hard drive without knowing what kind of operating system or hardware it's running on. I have yet to hear of a virus that affects both Windows and Linux, for example, let alone both the PC and the Mac.
