Some clown is sending out bogus e-mail claiming to be from Microsoft,
but the subject line might also cite a variety of internet related
subjects. Most contain an attachment that's in the 150K to 250k byte
range. Do not download the attachment. It's call the Swen worm, and
it's a nasty bugger. You can find all the gruesome details on the
Symantec Web Site.

Like some very wise person said, delete the damn things.

My mailbox overflows from the damn things every two to three hours,
making it utterly useless, for the foreseeable future. Ain't
technology grand?
 
Don't post to newsgroups with your real email address. Spammers have bots
which scan the newsgroups and harvest email addresses. For this particular
virus the best place to put it out in the open is in MS newsgroups - clever.
