Thanks for the info stevlo! <_<

McAfee's site seems to be down, but I think you're referring to W32.Beagle.A@mm. Click Here for details about this worm, and removal tools. We've received a number of infected emails, and it's been getting past our ISP's virus software, but getting caught by Norton.

This virus currently causes little damage, but will email itself to everyone in your address book. This virus contains errors that limit it's growth, but experts fear it will soon be modified to spread faster and potentially cause damage. As always, run antivirus software and keep it updated.
