yes, anytime an undated, uncredited "virus alert" says to "pass this along to EVERYONE in your address book so that this may be stopped" , especially with frequent alarmist use of ALL CAPS, it is a dead giveaway that the alert itself is the "virus."

Reminds me of when Homer Simpson goes to the bank to try to cash a junk mail check saying YOU may have WON A MILLION DOLLARS!!!! and the teller says its a fake. How can you tell, asks Homer. Well, real checks don't usually follow the amount with four exclamation points.

As for some Peel news, some advance schedules for BBCWS show his weeklt half hour program will return the first week of July.
