Hello

If you opened the mail with the snowwhite joke your computer is infected
with it, it actually is not a virus but an e mail worm, please go here for
the full information:

I urge everyone who is on the internet to get a good virus program, Norton's
has been recommended to me by several computer repair men, and set the
program to check DAILY for virus updates, this protects you and your friends
that you e mail to.  I got a virus from a friend,t hat cost me 200.00 to
clean out!!!!!  It is well worth the $30.00 or so to protect your machine,
but the key is you must set it to check for updates each day as new viruses
are out all the time. I had McAffee and it failed me, Nortons is much
better!!!!

Here is how the ha ha ha snowwhite worm works :
When the worm attachment is executed, the Wsock32.dll file is modified or
replaced. Once the worm has infected wsock32.dll, it has the abilty to
monitor the Internet connection as well as incoming and outgoing email
traffic. The worm then scans for email addresses. When an email address is
detected whether on an Internet site or in email being sent or received, the
worm waits for a period of time and then sends an infected message to the
detected address.
