This seems to be a hoax. I imagine you were informed of it by a chain email from a trusted friend. An old hoax to incite panic is that software can somehow destroy your hardware. Outside of running the components constantly to induce premature wear and tear, this is improbable if not impossible.
Neither Mcafee or Norton list this as a current threat. The only current threats are Netsky and Bagle variants.
