Default new virus

Do not respond or open any email with what appears to be a top ten list from CNN. I made the mistake of opening it on my laptop and it is now being cleaned at the computer store. It cost me $150 to fix. So if you see this in your email do not open.
I wish I knew who gets a thrill out of sending these viruses. I asked my husband if he thought it might be the same people who clean up you computer when you get one.
Has anyone else had this unfortunate experience?

Apparently, this must be getting sent around lately. Just today I received four e-mails claiming to be from CNN. Fortunately, I did not click on any of the links and just deleted them.

Like a dumb ass I clicked on one of the titles and Norton bliocked it. Norton might not be free but it works!!

I just received an email at work from our MIS department warning us about the CNN virus. They said it was a bad one.
