Factual Questions

I just received a message (and have heard of a similar message received by at least one other person at a different domain); the content is below, but I’ve replaced my address and info with bolded variables.

So, here are my questions:

  1. What virus was most likely in the attachment?

  2. Where can I look up virus outbreaks and symptoms early (that is, before Slashdot, Drudge Report, and Google News run stories about them)? There’s got to be someone posting articles as soon as a new virus is noticed… right?

Thanks a heap.
