    (update) – LexiConn is now filtering this virus system wide, as it only has 7 variations of the harmful virus attached.

    A new variant of the SoBig virus/worm is being sent through email and is spreading rapidly. It will have a subject such as:
    Your details
    Thank you!
    Re: Thank you!
    Re: Details
    Re: Re: My details
    Re: Approved
    Re: Your application
    Re: Wicked screensaver
    Re: That movie

    and contain an attachment for the virus/worm itself. You should not open these emails. Also, make sure you have downloaded the latest virus definitions from your virus software company, and perform a full virus scan of your computer. The virus uses fake From: fields to disguise where it originated from.
