Hello Patrick,

There's a web site that tells how to deal with this virus.  It also has
links for more information.  I haven't had to deal with the virus myself.
Apparently it won't affect your computer unless you actually execute the
file and watch the fireworks show.  A neighbor has such an outdated
operating system that all she got was a green flash.  The system was too
outdated for the virus to affect it,too.  At the site there's a list of
systems that the virus doesn't affect.

Good luck!
