Most of the information is alarmist and incorrect, it's just yet enough
worm, not a hugely dangerous one as it required the user to open an
exe attachment (which is, lets face it, a pretty stupid thing to do).
If anyones interested the
http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=99040
link seems to give the most useful information
Generally forwarding virus warnings is not very useful, maybe
security holes (that require patching) but not just more "don't open
attachment" ones.
