Yes, I got bit by the same virus, mine was sent to me by a federal judge
friend of mine, unknowingly to him.  All clean now.  The virus has been
moved to level 4 by Sarc, the folks who monitor these bugs. This one is
bad because it has it's own smtp program.  It is our top issue at work
starting today, since it is appearing everywhere.

This tool by Norton Anti-virus:

works very well.  My friend was unknowingly was infected, and his
computer mailed me a winword doc file, I thought it was strange that he
was
sending me this file, since it pertained something personal to him and a
case he was working on.  That's when it hit me, that it was the virus
that sent the his data file to me, and when I opened up that DOC file,
it got me too.  If you get any DOC files, even from friends, delete the
message or make sure you have a good antivirus software running.  I
happened to be between protection programs. 

Keep Triumphing
