This is the Sober virus - my computer caught the virus before Norton
Antivirus was prepared for it, and I eventually found the tool to remove
it from my computer at Symantec (Norton). I think I got rid of it. It's
a mass-mailer, which means if you're infected, your computer is sending
out messages without your knowledge. I would recommend that all PC users
do a system scan now with the updated anti-virus definitions, or go to
Symantec and get the removal tool (it's free). As I just learned, the
viruses get out there ahead of the antivirus tools, and it CAN sneak on
to your computer even if you think you're protected and you're up to
date AND you haven't downloaded any suspicious attachments.
