I have received about 2 dozen e-mails from people I don't know in the last 10 days.

It came with different titles in the title box, but the message said: "Hi how are you. I need your advice". It also, had an attachment.

I get e-mails from all over the world, because I freqent several forums. I suspected a virus so I returned the e-mail with a reply asking what the nature was of what they wanted to know before I attempted to open any attachments. After about the first 3-4 messages, I deleted without reading or responding to them.

Fortunately, I never opened the attachment on that first one. I noticed that the e-mail attachment had a name.xls.bat. The ".bat" was the hint to me that it was a virus.
