There are at least three new variants of the Sober worm spreading across the Internet via e-mail messages. The viruses are activated once a user clicks on an infected attachment.

Just thought you'd all want to know :)

Beware... I've heard they are hiding in .jpg attachments as well.

SO in that case we should disable the preview pane? If it's in a pic in the email that could be dangerous.
