New worm spreading rapidly across Internet

The worm, called "Mydoom" or "Novarg" by antivirus companies, appears to be an e-mail error message.

I saw these in my inbox all day long.

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER open messages that seem to have no rhyme or reason. If anything seems nonsensical about an email, even if it someone that you know don't open it. If it is from someone that you know then contact them and ask them if they sent it to you. As was said above these things will often look like they come from friends, but they probably didn't.
