It's a genuine e-mail virus that plague a lot of mailing lists for several
days now, filling input mailboxes with megabytes of trash. It's VERY
anoying, but the only thing to de is when receiving an e-mail with attached
documents to NEVER EVER attempt to open them! Otherwise (or if using some
broken Outlook viewer) you will PROPAGATE the virus and aggrave the nuisance
for everybody.
