Elle is correct.
You don't need to click this virus. The virus does not do a whole lot to
your computer.. it sure sends a ton of mail to the list tho.. all packed
with a free copy of itself... Nimda.. is Admin spelled backwards... it is
a
virus aimed at getting past computer administrators.. it's
working...
Click on VIEW; LAYOUT and then click the hide preview pane box... if you
see
a preview of messages before you click on them.. that message is
OPEN.. so
the nimda virus can open itself... it is self extracting.. be careful!
