What you are experiencing is a new mass-mailing worm called W32.Novarg.A@mm. It was discovered today and more info is coming as we speak.

THE KEY THING TO LOOK FOR is an attachment that is 22k in size; it may be a .bat, .cmd, .exe, .pif, .scr, or .zip file.

It also may look like a returned-undeliverable e-mail.

The subject of the e-mail may be one of these:
-test
-hi
-hello
-Mail Delivery System
-Mail Transaction Failed Server

Just delete it ...don't peek at the attachment...and you will be fine.

I think I just got screwed..... Tried to open a .zip file about that size... Didn't get it opened... but started getting returned mail that I didn't send...

What's the next move????

Did I just hand over my address book???
