Sorry to post off- topic but you won't be able to read the boards anymore if your computer poops out on you...
I just got a warning by telephone about a virus that destroyed two people's computers this morning.
They received the virus in an email with no subject line and the email was about viruses. This is not to say that this will be the only way it will be transmitted. It opened and executed itself on their computers. (Readme.exe will NOT be visible as an attachment in the email received) Apparently this one has the ability to mail itself out from address books.
Read the press release from the Symantec website:

Please update your virus protection software.
