Joe,

As John Ross suggets, it is the Klez virus.  There are many different
messages it sends out, but several imply fixes that you should install.
Of course, they aren't really fixes.  You should follow the instructions
at http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.klez.removal.tool.html to
make sure you aren't infected.  And, of course, make sure your antivirus
definitions and email (and OS) software are up-to-date.

Also very important is to turn off your preview pane.  Then if you don't
open the message, it can't infect you.  (Sadly, the preview pane opens the
message and runs the attachment.  You can't even delete it without getting
infected.*)

* OK, if your software is current, you are probably OK.  Also, you may be
able to CTRL-click or SHIFT-click multiple messages to delete the infected
one and still be safe - haven't tried.

P.S.  Or you can not use Windows, but that's another story!
