I have been getting the same message for the past few days, always with what
appears to be a .doc file attached. Since I won't open any unsolicted
attachment, they have just gone in the trash. I knew it was "possibly" a
virus, now it is confirmed.
The link that Ed sent, http://www.umich.edu/~virus-busters (Thanks, Ed!),
says that the virus attaches itself to a file in your document folder and
sends the document with it. That is why everybody is getting familiar
sounding attachments, but all different ones. There is a security issue
here, because it actually is sending your document.
In other words, DON'T OPEN UNSOLICTED ATTACHMENTS!
