A new variant of the SoBig virus/worm is being sent through email and is spreading rapidly. It will have a subject such as:

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.
