joke/worms virus

[clicknext]

There's a virus going around amoung my friends right now that sends itself to everyone on your contact list in hotmail. The email that it sends itself in is titled "joke" and the content is "Hi, I have some cool joke - worms so have a look at it (no virus)"

You can catch it simply by opening the email. Doesnt matter whether you open the attachment or not.

So my question is does anyone know how to get rid of this BS?

is this the virus that causes your desktop icons to appear as white concrete-like blocks?

No, so far, it doesn't appear to do anything but send itself to everyone.

Check Norton or Mcafee's website, they have instructions on how to remove each virus.
