This is NOT an actual virus. Below is a copy of the actual text which is being passed around. Remember that any email containing the phrase "Please forward this e-mail to your friends" or similar is almost certainly a hoax.

There is a new virus going around in the last couple of days!!! DO NOT open or even look at any mail that you get that says: "Returned or Unable to Deliver" . The virus will attach itself to your computer components and render them useless. Immediately delete any mail items that says this. AOL has indicated said this is a very dangerous virus, and there is NO remedy for it at this time, Please Be Careful, and forward to all your on-line friends A.S.A.P. Please do not open up any mail that has this title. It will erase your whole hard drive. This is a new e-mail virus and not a lot of people know about it, just let everyone know, so they won't be a victim. Please forward this e-mail to your friends!!!

Delete any "RETURNED OR UNABLE TO DELIVER" e-mail message and DO NOT forward it to anyone. You will only propagate the hoax.
