The W32.Sobig virus is really making the rounds right now. Do NOT open any mail that has an unknown RE: in the subject. These are mostly being propagated unwittingly by large corporations' emplyees opening them. Most notably:
Re: Your Application
Re: Approved
Re: Wicked Screensaver
Re: Your Details (or Re: My Details, or Re: Details)
Re: That Movie
