Has anyone else had this virus emailed to them lately?

Someone I didn't even know sent me this virus with the subject "Re: Thank you!" yesterday. However, I recognized that it was a PIF file attached, and I didn't open the file.

I usually average about 2-3 emails a week with one of the newest viruses or Trojans in it, LOL. I've had that subject, and a few others. I dont remember them very well, because I delete them as soon as I see them thru Mailwasher. Hopefully they'll die down again soon.

"Sobig" was sent to me 4 times yesterday.
I didn't open the e-mails & deleted them all. I hope I don't get it sent to me anymore. Eek

I read that at one point one in every 17 emails contained this virus.

Yahoo posted this for it's users:

W32.Sobig.F@mm is a mass-mailing, network-aware worm that sends itself to all the email addresses it finds in certain files on your PC. If you receive a message with an attachment with a .pif or .scr extension, we strongly suggest you scan it before downloading. The message may appear to be from someone you know.
