Daaamn,virus attack!

[Number Two]

My hotmail account is being bombarded by undeliverable mail and one E-Mail I got was Norton telling me this:

Recipient of the infected attachment: Opportunity\Inbox
Subject of the message: Thank you!
One or more attachments were quarantined.
Attachment movie0045.pif was Quarantined for the following reasons:
Virus W32.Sobig.F@mm was found.

Someone is pouring viruses into the internet like a waterfall! Watch what you download and E-Mail is infected with diseases bad. Update your protector every day.

Peace.

Peace. Here is some info on that and the link to virus removal tools. virus removal tools (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/tools.list.html)

W32.Sobig.F@mm is a mass-mailing, network-aware worm that sends itself to all the email addresses it finds in the files with the following extensions:

* .dbx
* .eml
* .hlp
* .htm
* .html
* .mht
* .wab
* .txt


The worm uses its own SMTP engine to propagate and will attempt to create a copy of itself on accessible network shares.

Email Routine Details
The email message has the following characteristics:

From: Spoofed address (which means that the sender in the "From" field is most likely not the real sender).
The worm may use the address admin@internet.com as the sender.
