I see several notes on the bugs and am reposting the link to sarc with the
info on this one.

http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.badtrans.13312@mm.html

The interesting thing about this is the fact that it was designed to get you
to open it, and it looks like a person sent it.
NOT the case, the bug is just doing a good job of looking like someone you
know.

A good way to protect yourself against them is to understand them, take time
to look over several of the listing at the sarc site, read the how and why
of some of the specific viruses.

It will give you much needed info on how to dodge and get rid of the bugs.

luck
