I want to make sure I was understood in my last warning as I have gotten a number of responses saying something similar to "I couldn't open that odd file I received"
Let me be direct... NEVER open files attached to e-mails, even if you think you know who it is from (as this virus steals the identity of unknowing web users) The files that are carrying the virus seem to be named (last part of their designation):
".pif" and ".scr"
I have gotten literally maybe 100 of these in the last few weeks with more in the past few days. They adapt not only the ID of the sender, but also make up deceptive topics and titles, very diabolical...
