The media is actually reporting a virus that has infected some computers without a users knowledge. The virus will sit silently on a computer and then destroy many files on February 3. This information is not from a fake "forward" email; this is a true virus warning. I did not get any email with the subject lines listed in the article or downloaded much of anything in the last little bit, but I have already backed up my files and scanned my computer just in case something goes wrong. I would recommend that you do that same. Here is an article from the BBC regarding the virus.
