New "Charly" virus infecting stupid people

I just received a message today from one of my friends in my Address Book.

Their Address Book had been infected by a virus and it was passed on to my computer. My Address Book, in turn, has been infected. The virus (called "CharlyIsA-Schmuck") is not detected by Norton or McAfee anti-virus systems. The virus sits quietly for 14 days before damaging the system. It's sent automatically by the messenger and by the Address Book, whether or not you sent emails to your contacts. I have checked, found it, and deleted it. Here's how to check for the virus and how to get rid of it:

DO THIS:

1. Go to start, Find or Search option.

2. In the files/folder option, write the name win.exe

3. Be sure you search your C: drive

4. click "find now"

5. the virus has a generic icon with the name win.exe

DO NOT OPEN IT

6. Right click and delete it. It will then go to the Recycle Bin.

7. Go to the Recycle Bin and delete it there as well.

IF YOU FIND THE VIRUS, YOU MUST CONTACT ALL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR ADDRESS

BOOK SO THEY CAN ERADICATE IT IN THEIR OWN ADDRESS BOOKS.

SORRY ABOUT THIS. I'M SURE EVERYONE IN MY ADDRESS BOOK WILL HAVE IT."

It takes guts to email people to say you may have sent them a virus. Then even more guts to admit you were wrong.

Thanks bro. I sent the email to everybody but I also thought that I should post it here too.

What do you mean by admitting that I am wrong though?
