I have received three e-mails from innocous addresses with tantalizing (somewhat) topics (example: "Saint Patrick's Day').. An executable file was attached. The message text on all three read identically: Hi. How are you? I send you this file to have your advice. See you later. Thanks. The first one looked a tad fishy so I skipped it as I went through an accumulation of three day's worth of e-mails received while I was In Georgia. Fortunately, I came to numbers 2 and 3 and, looking this dangerous

Just in case everyone's not gotten the word, Maynard tripped across the latest worm (virus) that's going around. This is supposed to be one that sends emails on your behalf using the addresses in your address book. The key give-away is the message: "Hi. How are you? _____" I've seen variations in the third phrase, but it's always something about needing "your advice."
