I'd say 99% (if not 100%) a hoax. Viruses these days don't destroy boot
sectors anymore, they send out tons and tons of spam, or turn them into slaves
to do some other master's bidding.
And by the time an email like this has hit your mailbox, the AV world has
updates for their products ready.
Nevertheless, please do keep your stuff up-to-date. It'll save you endless
hours of misery.
