that virus is the "red worm" virus that hit the scene about 3 or so weeks ago

I had recieved an Email about 3 days ago from someone by the name of ( if I
remeber
correctly) Shamil S ( something  some type of  middle eastern name)

there was a notice that the Email system found a virus in the text file and
cleaned
it up and then resubmitted it to me ....   SOOOO   be careful dont open
either of
the .txt files  the second one "could" be the real virus file...
