> Hey Everyone,

> attachment from a real person, so I opened it. It then infected my
> computer, stole documents from my hard drive and randomly sent them out
> to people on my address book - hiding the virus in the attachment. IF
> YOU HAVE RECEIVED ANY RECENT (i.e. in the last two days) MESSAGES FROM
> ME WITH ATTACHMENTS, OR RECEIVE ANY IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS DO NOT
> OPEN THE ATTACHMENT. DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY, AND LET ME KNOW ASAP. If
> you have already opened such an attachment, you will need to get an
> updated virus scan program to remove the virus (many can be obtained
> free on the internet), since this is such a new virus.

> This is a particularly dangerous virus for those of us who work with
> confidential materials, so please take action immediately to prevent
> infection. I sincerely hope that this virus does not impact any of you
> due to your place in my address book, and apologize if it does.

> Please let me know if you have received any such attachments from my
