this one supposedly morphs and also sends personal files from your computer, so be careful -- UPDATE NOW, and don't open ANY unexpected attachments. :Q

yeah its supposed to be one of the bigger viruses that could effect large number of computers.
beware and dont download ANYATTACHMENTS from ANY email until you have read up on how to protect yourself.

but if you catch it early it was pretty easy to remove. first u need anti-virus program to detect the file and delete them (depends on how long u had it for). then you have to work on autoexec.bat and do a simple registry editing. but if you leave it in... i has function to FILL UP THE WHOLE HARD DRIVE With useless files and mess around with excutable files.
