.... and if you have a Bluetooth, IrDA or USB connection to any computer
it will infect that one as well regardless of operating system. This is
true for all variants of Windows, UNIX and Mac OS ...

Old news I'm afraid, and absolutely nothing to do with what you originally

AFAIK its a hoax, like the phone contacts that appear on your phone
telling you you have a virus, which are usually received via bluetooth
after being bluejacked (more info bluejackaddict.co.uk).
