    Anyone got this?

    I got an email with Warning as the subject and ok as the body. Got it through Outlook.

    My question is would i have had to open the attatchment to get the Virus? I clicked on it and deleted it straight away.

    Seems to have exploded today, UCD is getting hammered by it.

    Apparently it'll do annoying random things to your computer every tuesday of this month, and it'll also do the typical "mail myself to everybody" thing that seems to be the best propagation method recently due to abysmal user security.

    Got hit a few times with it myself today. Once your Norton drivers have updated since Feb 18th you should be OK.

    Fcukers.
