I have gotten several virus-message a day for the past couple weeks. They always say something like "I have included this file to ask for your advice." There is always an attached file, with different file extensions, and different file names. The message comes from a different person every time, but unlike normal viruses (actually it's a worm) it culls email addresses from the persons computer to use as a sender, so I can't even email the person back, as the return address is probably not the person it came from.

Fortunately, I am on a Macintosh, and this virus can't affect me. The real lesson for everyone, though, is don't open attachments unless it is a file you have been expecting.

And DO make back-ups of everything regularly.
