I don't know about the rest of you, but about 1/3rd of the mail I'm receiving now has that stupid Sobig virus attached. In Outlook, all you have to do is right-mouse click on the message (which loads a PIF attachment - an identity file of sorts), and the virus will activate. No need to have auto-preview on (although this makes it worse), or even open the attachment. Better make sure your anti-virus sigs are up to date!
