I have posted about different scammers that will try and take your money by appearing to be a legit PayPal message, but now there is a virus that will do this AND propogate itself as well.

There is already a great deal of work being done to stop the damage from this virus, but be careful and update anyway.

Lesse, I posted this message this morning, and this afternoon I recieved the virus email.

Hmm, should I click on that attachment?  Do they REALLY think I am THAT stupid?

here is the text of the message:
