There is a virus that sends itself to everyone in your address book. The virus
was sent to me from different sources whom have no contact with, including
Hassan Jagne. Some of these people are not even aware that they are infected.

There is a free removal tool at the following address if you are infected:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b@mm
.removal.tool.html

You can only execute the virus attachment without opening it if
you read email on a PC with either Outlook or Outlook Express and you have a
version of Internet Explorer that is vulnerable to the so-called auto-open bug.
See the following link for more information and a patch.
