This virus is being passed around by many people automatically to everyone in their address book if they don't have a virus program such as Macafee with CURRENT DAT UPDATES.
I have received this virus 3 times and others have reported it one to three times.
There is also an email going around that purports to protect your computer from this virus. Do not install the attachment as it is the virus.
Please also note that more then one virus program in your computer will casue them to be defeated as one trys to delete the other and then neither work and you get the virus anyway. This statement comes directly from Macafee the virus company.
Please protect yourself and the rest of us. Thank you to all.

Virus attacs is very common, and every one who is using the internet or swap
files one way or another, should always have a updated Anti Virus Protection
software installed and running.
However, for those who who still "travel" unprotected, there is a removaltool
for this fast spreading infection at Symantec's website.
But remember, there are not much help in remove any of those "guests" from the
PC if you don't install or runs any program to make sure that your protection
is updated to fight the next or future attacs!

I don't know that person by those initials, GEG, or I would write them for you.
If you can clean the file with your virus program, look at the headers and get the email addy of the persons ISP, (Internet Service Provider). You can then email the ISP and ask them to contact this person and advise them their computer has a virus.
It may not be anyone you know as these worms send themselves to every address in a computers hard drive, so it could be a second or tenth forward of a song you sent to someone that was forwarded and saved many times, and long ago. That is why so many virus come to my computer. PLEASE EVERYONE INSTALL ONE ONLY GOOD VIRUS PROGRAM. IF you install two programs they will defeat eachother and you will get and send virus to all of us. They are time consuming to us and we have better use of our time. PLEASE & THANK YOU
