It's a particularly nasty new worm, whose name escapes me. It goes through your hard drive, looking for addresses and sends emails to every address it can find. (I probably have the details a little mixed up, but I have a Mac, and this doesn't effect me)

Download new virus definitions from the Norton's site (this only came out in the last day or two) and re-scan your hard drive. You may not be infected, but have gotten email from those people whose computers are infected.
