Hello,
This "worm" is one of those that does NOT need to have any attachment opened
to activate it, all you need do is click-thru to that message in your
in-box.
I, along with many on this list, was fortunate in so far as my anti-virus
(Norton V5.0 in my case) caught it right away. If your anti-virus program
did not, or if (gasp) you aren't protected, check out this link:

w32.badtrans.b_at_mm.ht">http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.b_at_mm.ht
ml

That's the Symantic spin, your mileage may vary if you have another brand of
A/V software...I know on the Trend site, for example, they give removal
instructions as well...

HTH, and good luck

Marc S.
