I am sure most of the technorati know about this...but for those who don't here is some information on this new and spreading virus. Symantec just recently updated the threat to high and thus I decided to add it to my blog to incite fear in those that open anything that comes into their inbox. I am going to be a link whore and toss some links below to the descriptions that the A-V folks have and their updates for their respective programs:
