Public Interest Announcement: You may have gotten some odd email lately from strangers, saying something like "I send you this file in order to have your advice." Do not open the attachment. If you have opened any such attachment, see Symantec's information page on how to clean your system of the worm it's been infected with before it starts sending other people random files from your computer, complete with worms.
The people you've received email from haven't been harassing you -- the worm has. Send them this information too, and speed up clearing it from the Net.

It's a good rule of thumb never to open an attachment from someone you don't know. I've followed that all five years I've been online and haven't had a virus yet.
Thank you for stopping by and subscribing
