This virus is one of the worst viruses ever and has been Confirmed by CNN, Bill Gates's blog, Salon.com, Jenna Fischer's Myspace Page, and a couple of billboards in the tri-state area.

UPDATE!!!!!!
Technical Information regarding this virus: This virus only affects the following Systems: Windows XP and 2K. Linux Kernel 2.1 and below. BeOS. This virus does not affect Macs, because nothing possible could ever go wrong with a mac.
How to check if you have been affected:
1) If you turned on your computer and instead of Windows, you got a message that said: "Operating System not found"
2) Open up "My Computer" and then open up the "C:\" and then open up the "Windows" folder. Look for a file called "Gone Fishing" and if you find it, that means someone is fishing for your Credit Card information.
Ok. if you got this far and wasn't sure, this is indeed a hoax. Was I too subtle? The real place to check for a virus is the Symantec Anti-Virus Research Center.
Perhaps a goal of mine is to make their Hoax page, so pass this to all of your friends. This one is my alltime favorite.
