Virus Alert !!!

This must be the most serious ever. It's called Win32Irish and apparently is 100% destructive. Here is the payload.

Dear Receiver

You have just received an Irish virus.

This is a MANUAL virus.

Please delete all the files on your hard disk yourself and send this mail to
everyone you know - that'll be grand.
