I received the virus this morning, in my hotmail account. Hotmail has a feature to scan attachments automatically, but it didn't catch the virus (using a product from McAfee). However, the message was forwarded to me by a person, who knows diddly-squat about VBS and so, being the suspicious guy that I am, I saved the attachment to disk and opened it with EMACS instead. The scary part is that there are several users who trust their virus scanners to say that an attachment is safe to look at. I guess Microsoft had better update their virus scanner on Hotmail as soon as possible.
