I think there's another virus going round in the Cam. I just checked my Cam account and there are several mails from addresses I don't know with subjects like "That movie" and "Thank you" and a 100K attachment.
Good thing I don't use Outlook...

UPDATE:
The virus is called "W32.Sobig.F@mm".
Norton Virus on Yahoo Mail caught it.

the virus is called "W32.Sobig.F@mm".
Norton Virus on Yahoo Mail seems to work, then.

Just checked Sophos - see my LJ for the writeup.

Yup, our work people picked that up yesterday; I havnt switched my machine on since monday though but its unlikely to get through my combination of zonealarm, avg and tendency to bin unsolicited e-mails with attachments on reciept! ;)

It's the Sobig virus which is pretty prevailant accross the internet at the moment. Almost as big as the MSBlast worm from what I understand.
