It's a WORM! Which means it's not as bad as a virus, but it'll still make your computer life miserable. Like everyone else says, just delete it. You can download the proper patch from the Microsoft website. Mr. Television 10-18-2003, 11:24 PM I got a bunch of them but I didn't open it. Brent88 10-18-2003, 11:29 PM We got infected with that (expletive deleted) virus 5 times and we didn't even open the emails, we had like 5 emails that were infected though. You may be infected just because you opened the email. robyrob 10-18-2003, 11:35 PM Originally posted by Brent88 We got infected with that (expletive deleted) virus 5 times and we didn't even open the emails, we had like 5 emails that were infected though.
