Thanks for the warning, Doug. Didn't receive it here.

DON'T open it! Delete it immediately!!! Opening that attachment allows
the virus to attach to your C drive, & from there it will e-mail itself
(even though you have no intention of sending this attachment on) to
everyone in your address book. It took our technical support staff over an
hour to delete the virus from the C drive on my computer. I received an
e-mail with this attachment probably at least 2 mos ago & deleted it from
my e-mail inbox when I was informed that the attachment contained a virus.
However, I did open it, & thus unleashed the demon. Only this a.m. did the
virus prevent me from opening my e-mail. I received a virus warning at
that point, which was the 1st time I was aware of it. Even though I have a
very recent version of a virus scanner, the scanner somehow missed this one.

you, too, if you were unfortunate enough to open this thing. My sincere
apologies for sharing this mess with all of you. It certainly wasn't my
intention. It sure made for a great way to start off a Monday.
