It's pretty clever because it's actually sent through our gateway so most people would assume it came from their admin. It also has a file attached called textfile.zip. We have a relatively small company so I know the admin didn't send this. If you work in a larger company that doesn't have direct communication with the network admin, I could see how this could be a problem.

Be careful, it's a virus!

virus definitions have been updated twice on symantec and mcafee today. Virus coders say they have a new virus for every definition release.
