Neil,

You may want to check your outbox in mail as I just got 2 copies of
LINKS.VBS, a VB script file which does a lot of file writing (I looked at
it). Actually, it looks like it deletes the mail right after it sends it so
it may not show up in the sent folder. I have not run it on my end, as it
seems to be quite nefarious, so you may want to check your machine out for
this virus.

I rescanned it, it writes to a certain file (itself) and to the registry,
then emails itself to everyone in your address book, which I guess is why I
got this. Also check your startup folder for any strange entries, but I
would visit McAfee or some such ASAP. The code is all encrypted, so it is
hard to make out exactly what is going on. You only get infected if you open
the attachment.
