I have been getting a 8 or so e-mails a day for the past couple days with the WIN32BeagleZ (or V) virus attached...
Most are coming in the guise of returned e-mails (I supposedly sent to addresses I never heard of) saying the message "I sent" was infected with the virus... Norton says I do not, but the e-mails do...
Here's a sample...

Beagle has been rampant recently. You don't have to have ever sent to who you receive from, but you are in their address book.
I have gotten it 4-5 times in the past month.
