usually the ARG host doesn't acknowledge those posts, but idk this might be his first and I wouldn't put it past him. It would be cool tho if it was real, an actual fun virus.
Once again, I know why you express concern that this may be an ARG, it's unbelievable. I have no viruses and I think my computer is possessed by satan or something. I got an email, all it said was "Patty Vaughan", and December 25th, 1996.
