For the record, I'm not e-mailing you zip files with viruses in them, regardless of what the headers say...
It's called W32.Novard.A@mm and it's spreading rapidly. See the details at Symantec, or an even better writeup at McAafe.

Haven't seen those, my .Mac account does a good job of catching them before they are downloaded onto my iBook.

I was depressed because I wasn't getting any. Of the latest virus-worm-spam-thingy emails.
Then I looked in the grease trap. There they are! Dozens of the little buggers!
Crikey!
