There is no evidence that there is a new "Merry Christmas" virus.

There is no information in the variants of the hoax e-mail that
is going to help anyone avoid getting hurt by a brand-new virus.

If you want to sent out routine notices saying, "Watch out
for viruses" and "Be careful what links and attachments you
open," you're free to do so.

Me, I'd rather help people understand how to check chain letters
before passing them on. I think crying wolf is not terribly
helpful. YMMV.
