The point of this is to be an asshole, basically. The guy who originally created this must have decided it would be funny to social engineer people to delete files from their computer, so he wrote it and sent it out to people.
There is no actual virus involved here. All of the work sending out the e-mails is done by completely willing (and duped) panicky users.
Attention: Before you send out that latest e-mail to your whole address book warning them about the latest virus, be sure to check
VMyths for the whole story first. Be an educated user, not a tool.
