When NOTE.EXE is executed, it examines the browser cache and
tries to find the file containing the AOL passwords.  It gathers
the information, encrypts it, and then sends it to an email
address in a domain in China.

Please note:  as everyone has warned before, reading a text email
won't cause a computer to be infected by a virus or attacked by a
trojan.  However, executing an attachment *can* do such damage,
and this appears to be such a case.  As always, be very careful
when running programs from people you don't know!
