I'll add my voice to the warning ...

This virus is a nasty little thing. Not only is it a mass mailer
( = server killer ) it also:

Wrecks specific anti virus software by deleting files.
Can spread itself via ICQ and MIRC.
Has a keylogger that can capture your passwords for common security logins, and can forward them via e-mail.

I got 7 copies of it at work today before they shut down our e-mail system to clean it.

It can be easily identified, as the e-mail subject will be "Hi"
