This virus thing has me bumfuzzled.

Don't be. Lots of people just forward such things without doing anything to verify them at all because they think they are being good citizens. This one even has a URL pointing to a official description of the virus, so it clearly was a valid concern at some time. It is only careful notice of the dates that makes one wonder whether the virus is actually that persistent, which suggests that lots of folks aren't keeping their virus definitions current or it would have been damped out, or whether this is just another one of those messages that gets forwarded and forwarded and forwarded and comes back around once a year or so. The jokes certainly work that way. Some of this stuff has been going around for years and years and years. You could always ask the sys admin if there was some reason for fresh concern or whether it had just gotten through his/her sieve.
