Yes and this is a hoax. Below you will find out why .

AVERT HOAX Notice!!

McAfee AVERT Labs would like to inform you of a new email HOAX.

We are advising users who receive the email to delete it and DO NOT
pass it on as this is how an email HOAX propagates.

Below is the actual text from the message that may be received via
email.

I received this from a reliable family friend this morning. 10/28/01 
BIG TROUBLE !!!! DO NOT OPEN "WTC Survivor" It is a virus that will
erase your whole "C" drive. It will come to you in the form of an E-Mail
from a familiar person. I repeat a friend sent it to me, but called and
warned me before I opened it. He was not so lucky and now he can't even
start his computer! Forward this to everyone in your address book. I
would rather receive this 25 times than not not all. 

If you receive an email called "WTC Survivor" do not open it. Delete it
right away! This virus removes all dynamic link libraries (.dll files)
from your computer.  This is a serious one.
