It seems there's a new MyDoom worm variant floating around. It spreads via email and sounds particularly yucky. Some of the emails are reported to look like this:
Congratulations! PayPal has successfully charged $175 to your credit card. Your order tracking number is A866DEC0, and your item will be shipped within three business days.

To see details please click this link.
The email includes a link that will infect Windows if you click it. I don't believe Microsoft has patch for this at the moment, so be careful what you click on.

Interesting - we received this on the admin account at work this morning. I suspected it was something along those lines, and trashed it immediately. Thanks for confirming my suspicions.
