This Virus, plus a variant (mydoom) have been going around today, but I decided to post it since for about the first time ever I've actually had to come to me. Norton killed it, natch.
However, it was sent to my barrysworld mail alias (on my domain), and coming from anonymous types, which suggests that the virus is being distributed on harvester lists. Since I don't normally get them I'm guessing that this has managed to get somewhat wider in scale.
The mails come in all kinds of deceptive forms: Usually claiming that the message cannot be displayed but that part of it has been "salvaged" as an attachment. However, having recieved it 4 times this afternoon, I thought maybe it deserved an extra reminder to update virus scanners than normal outbreaks.
