jonny,
you have, and sent the virus. ev1 stripped the virus and delivered your email anyways (not infecting the recipient) They're just letting you know you gotta take care of it.

Here's the link to a removal tool Svenn found:
http://www.bitdefender.com/html/virusinfo.php?menu_id=1&v_id=185
Might as well give it a shot, eh? Ran it here and came up clean. It's small......about 60 K.

With this virus/worm in particular, its very possible that you have NOT been infected by it and still received the message that you did.
Try the removal tool above. If it doesn't find anything, don't worry about messages like that. Simply put, the worm may have used your name to generate email. It sends out email saying it is from your address hoping it will get bounced back to you, clogging up servers in the process. Where it got your email address, who knows!
Also, this worm/virus is apparently going to make it impossible for infected systems to contact certain anti-virus vendors' web-sites. To be safe, update you anti-virus definitions before the weekend.
The myDoom worm is expected to hit its peak in the next week. On Sunday, a denial-of-service attack will be launched against SCO. Tuesday, a similar attack is expected to be launched against Microsoft.
For anyone who is interested:

Seriously, with all the media hype on this one, I've been extra careful. (I wear a rubber when surfing) I just deleted the 2nd email error message in as many days.

That's "geekess" to you, lol.
I had 44 infected messages, many from france, by way of a french friend's address book...
Norton caught them all. Oh, well, it's an interesting life.

It's not bad enough we've got CH -- now we gotta have a virus on top of it.
My computer guru told me to scan every attachment before I opened it. I don't think he trusts me, so he comes in every day and does it. So far nothing has been found on mine. All my outgoing mail is scanned by Norton before it's sent.
I just don't understand why people who come up with these worms and viruses don't just do something worthwhile instead. They've got to be smart to write the programs that cause chaos on the net, so why the hell don't they just go to work at an honest job!!!!!!
Hang in there Jonny -- you'll be better in the morning....
Hugs BD

just bumping this to the top
Make sure you update your virus definitions TODAY!!!
If you are infected, there is a very good chance that on Sunday when this hits its peak, you WON'T be able to reach your anti-virus vendor's website!!!!!

It is usually script kiddies that do these things. They usually outgrow it once they learn to write code. Or get a paper route, girlfriend whatever.
If you get tired of it just chuck MS. Its not like they have a copyright on Windows.
If you can't get to your AV site to update. GOTO http://www.trendmicro.com/housecall run housecallthen go update your AV software.
Meanwhile I shall just relax and not worry about all the hub bub.

http://kde.org/screenshots/ Go there that is one of the windows enviroments. I don't think you will find it difficult. After a half case of beer and a bottle of whiskey it can be a little tricky sometimes.
As for the Operating System they have good info and courses here http://linux.org
All the software you probably want can be found here http://freshmeat.net
If you want to be on the bleeding edge go here http://sourceforge.net
The price is the exorbitant sum of FREE
Unless you want to buy a whole put together Distro thats about $30
If you want the whole distro without paying for it. Download it free of charge legally from thier web site. I would suggest here http://www.suse.co.uk/uk/private/download/
By the way if you want AV software with it be my guest. Waste of time though. If you decide to join us.
Welcome to the worlds biggest hacker science project. There is a reason the little punks leave us alone. Fear.

Not so fast yall.....I will have you know MicroSoft has provided me a pretty good set of fringe benefits and next year I intend to go back to school to become MS Network certified. That should put shoes on the little one's feet for years! LOL! LONG LIVE MS EXPLOITS!
I gotta a job for life.
BTW, I have never got a virus or worm on my MS boxs at home. I am kinda geeky about that. My hobby seems to be keeping it secure.....now work is another story..geez..

Hey jonny,
This post is being write with Linux mandrake, It is called Linux but it really is GNU/Linux, as most of the distro's come with a lot of apps written by GNU. You can put GNU/Linux on with any windows using a dual boot system. I am planning on a quad boot system, all on the same hard drive. If you don't have any special software or hardware then all that you want to do will all ready on the CD's or available for easy down load. Although I have had some problems I do tend to push the envelope a bit. You shouldn't have too many problems and it should be easier than win 2000.

Couldn't agree with you more on that statement, jonny.
I am going to be putting together a new computer for myself and installing SuSe 9.x as the OS and KDE for the windows desktop. From everything I have heard Linux is muuuuuuch better than M$.
....if you think you like pics of penguins...ask Kirk to send you some pics of the Penguinistas...now those pics are right up your alley!
