Watch out - new virus

I am not having alot of luck lately, just got my 1st virus in years!

Anyway, this virus which appeared on my PC can only be trapped by 1 virus checker apparently at the moment.

If you get an email with the following text, then delete it straight away:

Hi! How are you?
You know I've created my own website!
Can you check how it works?
It's
Can you see video?
Bye!

Here is a link to the only apparent virus removal tool that will get rid of it at the moment, in case it happens to you: http://www.nod32.com/download/index.php

Got that AV software, very nice it is too.

Maybe I shoulld have got myself a different checker rather than avg, not really sure if it is that decent these days.

Certainly not pleased that I have picked up a virus.

I have NOD32, thanks for the heads up, of course the easiest way not to catch a virus from email is not to open it in the first place, given that it's gotta be from someone you don't know.

PS, for those that don't know, turn off show preview pane, that way it can't open without you doing it

In which case they need a *******ing for sending the virus in the first place
