Extra! VIRUS Alert! Extra!

I just received the information below from McAfee. If you don't already have Anti Virus software get it TODAY! Andy - Las Vegas

W32/Fizzer@MM is a MEDIUM-ON-WATCH mass-mailing worm, which spreads by emailing itself to addresses in your Windows Address Book and others on your PC. It tries to terminate your AV software, contains a keylogger and attempts to spread using other programs, including IRC, AIM and Kazaa. It arrives as an executable email attachment, requiring users to double-click on the file to become infected. Caution: An infected email can come from addresses you recognize and may contain the following information:

What to Look for:

Subject: [content varies]
Body: [content varies]
Attachment: [ standard executable extensions: .exe, .pif, .scr]

Up-to-date McAfee VirusScan users are protected from this threat.
