I've probably recieved 100 variants of this virus in the last few weeks...about a dozen today alone...
Email virus don't concern me if they can only be activated by running an atached file...all attachments sent to me go directly into the trash anyway unless I already know what it is, and who it came from.
On the other hand, for the first time in over 20 years of using PC's, I got infected by a virus...
Not only did I get infected, it happened when I visited a website that I've been to many times that had been hijacked....
The scary thing was I didn't even download anything or do anything...I simply typed the URL into my browser (firefox, but I also use IE sometimes), and the virus immediatelty took over my machine, locked me out of the task manager, and installed a sh*t load of programs that took me days to clear off...still not 100% certain I have all of them.
Scary thing is, I have an anti-virus installed (and it was running)...and even though I didn't do anything "dumb" (i.e.. accidentally open an EXE) the machine was able to completey take over my machine....
