I haven't seen the web page, and it seems prudent not to try to look at it
from work...
This is a well-known and fairly nasty worm. If you get it, do NOT open it.
It will infect your hard disk and send a copy of tiself to any email address
on any web page you look at from then on. I get several copies a day due to
another web page I maintain, and I just delete them, as I haven't figured
out a way yet to get sendmail to reject them.
I'm not at risk of infection, of course, since I read mail on Linux...
