This shit is fucked up. All you do is open an e-mail without executing the attachment. Watchout motherfuckers....

Most viruses rely on the user double-clicking on an attachment sent with an e-mail to infect the computer.

But a new virus, called Netsky-V, is rare in that it starts to infect the computer after the user clicks on the subject line of the e-mail just once.

1. Disable HTML e-mails if you have that enable in your default mail browser!
2. There is no patch yet, it was detected like 12 hours ago.
3. Noobs are gonna get owned!

Just use Outlook without the preview pane enabled. Then you can right click on the message and view source to see if it is a virus. Or at least you can just click on it and delete it without opening it.

But then you don't know what the email is about if you can't preview it?

This is a problem

Well you can tell when you view the source code what the email is about.
