If you get an e-mail and in the subject it says something like,

(hi, ive a new mail address)

DELETE da Sum B immediately and then close your e-mail and re-open it. Dat Mother is visious......

It got on my daughter's machine at work, and da boss had to completely reformat the hard drive and re load everything to get rid of it.......

She gets so much email she never even gave it a thought and opened the attachment. She said she knew she was in trouble the minute she did that. She gave me the name of the attachment, WIN32.SOBER.W!ZIP

It must be widespread. We were warned about it here in Nashville. Here is a excerpt of our warning:

At about 2:30pm yesterday, you may have started receiving notifications of blocked email attachments. The subject lines for some of these emails may have been:

"hi, ive a new mail address"
"Registration_Confirmation"
"Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie"
"Your Password"
"Your IP was logged"
"Mail delivery failed"

I won't include the senders since someone may click on one by mistake.
