Does anyone know anything about this?  Is it legit or another hoax?

WARNING: DON'T OPEN PICTURE.EXE EMAIL ATTACHMENTS
If you get a picture.exe email attachment, don't open it. It's a Trojan
horse that tries to worm its way into your system in search of passwords
and other info. Then it tries to establish an Internet connection -- and
sends what it's found to an email address in China. Weird but apparently
true. Network Associates updated its McAfee anti-virus software to detect
picture.exe. But security experts continue to warn users to be careful;
picture.exe appears to be more insidious than the typical Trojan.
