    just got this one in an email today and luckily had updated my viruscan just before i checked it, heres some info on it should any ppl without virus scanners receive such an email

    Infected messages have the following characteristics:

    From:
    big@boss.com

    Subject: (one of the following)
    Re: Movies
    Re: Sample
    Re: Document
    Re: Here is that sample

    Attachment: (one of the following)
    Movie_0074.mpeg.pif
    Document003.pif
    Untitled1.pif
    Sample.pif

    The worm activates from infected email only if a user clicks on the attached file. Once run it installs itself to the system, runs a spreading routine and payload.
