Sounds like the sobig.f virus

What Anti-virus software are you using and have you updated it in the last
24 hours ?

If your using Norton AV and registered with norton security alert, you
should have received a number of warnings in the last few days and grabbed
the manual definition updates that should trap these attachments.

I'd also recommend checking out http://securityresponse.symantec.com/ which
has details of all the latest threats and sources of fixes, patches etc.

If in doubt follow the golden rule - Delete it without opening
