Theos-World South Park Virus

Beware a new virus prettyworm.zip, represented as an
attachment called Pretty Park and sometimes looking
like a South Park symbol. It may even be sent you by
a friend. Do not open the attachment, and delete the
e-mail asap.
This is a virus that once opened digs itself into your
e-mail files and can automatically send out the same
e-mail to everyone on your Address list. It does not
disable any of your files, but causes your computer to
slow down, and I mean lag (five minute white screen
just on start-up).
My source on this warning is my company's Information
Systems department, in an All Employee e-mail
yesterday they gave us exactly the same advice and
information as you see above.
