Tan, As has been mentioned, the virus in question is a Beagle (Bagle) variant.
If you don't have any antivirus (AV) software, download a trial and scan your system. Or use one of the online scan engines. If you have AV software that just wasn't updated, try downloading a disinfection tool. Preferably from your AV vendor, but if they don't have any, try this one: http://www.f-secure.com/tools/f-bagle.zip What scares the willies out of me is that there seems to be an ongoing war between two teams of virus developers, the Beagle bunch and the Netsky team... I think we will see more creative variants in the future, unfortunately.
