"For their computers to be infected, users who open the compressed Zip file attached to the e-mail must then open a second file which installs a Trojan horse program. That program connects to a Web site in Russia and retrieves the latest version of the Mimail worm, Mimail-N...
Once installed, Mimail-N alters the configuration of Microsoft Windows so that the worm is launched whenever Windows starts, harvests e-mail addresses from the computer's hard drive, and mails copies of itself out to those addresses. It also creates phony PayPal Web pages used to promt the user to enter credit card numbers and other personal information, according to an alert issued by Kaspersky Labs."
I suppose that someone who had my email address on their computer fell for this.
