Ok, so we can amend the virus to read

"Please hand-write a copy of this virus (printers are evil), Please then 
delete all of your files on your hard drive. Then forward this message 
to everyone in your address book."

or

"Please forward this message to everyone in your address book, then 
delete all of your files on your hard drive."

..  wonder if the virus scanners will pick up Amish v2 :P
