This is the Code Red virus which is currently ravaging the Windows world and
bogging down the entire internet.

Whatever you do don't run the executable. As a general rule you should never
run any enclosure you get with an email unless you are expecting the enclosure.
Just delete it.

This is just one the first of a wave of viruses we will be getting from the
Chinese as they hone their compu-warfare capabilities. Your best bet is to get
a Macintosh or Linux based computer or you will forever be tortured by viruses
such as these.
