Should have mentioned that according to McAfee, the attachment that comes 
with the email messages must be opened in order for the victim machine to 
become infected. Just delete the messages. Your virus scanning program 
should alert you to these emails coming in. The latest updates of virus 
scan programs are dealing with this new worm.

caught. I would like to see who they are. Is it some pizza-stained 
body-odored geek stereotype, or a bored rich genius with a gripe against 
his/her chauffeur --
