At the moment, anti-virus experts do not know what could happen, but possibilities include launching another virus or spam attack, collecting sensitive information, or deleting files stored on an infected computer or network.

Not good
Can you get this by opening the email or do you have to download the attachment?

It's usually when you open the attachment, however, just try and delete it without opening - especially if it's someone you don't know or with a subject title that's weird.

That is what I did, but I have been getting those dumb Mailer Daemon things, but I just delete them too. So annoying. I probably have 10 more as we speak.

I just suggest that you don't open any e-mails that look in the slightest bit dodgey.

That's the annoying thing though, it just clutters up your mailbox and you can't do anything about it but delete them... can't understand why people think these things up, have they nothing better to do??
