Just briefly, (I know this is not the place for this) this is a worm,
not a virus, and is not harmful, merely annoying. It is easily
removable. If anyone has any problems, I have simple removal
instructions given to me by my favorite bro-in-law, the computer guy.
Even I was able to do it.

>>Hello,

>>Recently there have been several reports of a virus being passed
through

email

>>For more information on this particular virus, and how to remove it,
visit

>>This is a good time to remind people that, in general, they should
not

That
