Yes it’s a worm virus. It’s been running crazy through my little ring of friends n’ their address books for the last couple weeks *sigh* (I don’t understand how some people can be so gullable…). I’ve helped a few of them n’ it’s turned out to be the worm; W32.Yaha.K@mm
Faizan, please check this article from Norton’s site (removal instructions near the bottom). You recieved that email because the worm (like all worms), tries to distribute by emailing itself around. The worm just happened to hit a dead end.
Please be careful. You should be equipped with a good Anti-Virus software (I would reccomend norton. Hotmail’s mcafee is decent – but doesn’t catch all viruses all the time), n’ always scan incoming email attachments – from everyone. Doesn’t matter even if you know them better than yourself; it could be a worm fooling you. If in doubt – don’t open any unknown attachments at all. I would recommend advising all other users of your computer to do the same.
magistyk, giving the edit button the cold shoulder eh? What did she do to you this time? 🙂
