Good advice, always! But if any of you have got it, you have to do more
than just run (even the latest) virus scan. The following page gives
details of how to get rid of it:

However the virus sends out spoof emails without the user being aware of it
(they don't show in your "Sent items" folder). So those of you using older
versions of Outlook/Outlook Express would be well advised to go the
Microsoft website at:

http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/

and download whatever critical updates are available.
