Dean - here is a link with info about the virus

Since yesterday I've received it 37 times! Luckily it's pretty obvious wording and makes one suspicious right away about opening the attachment.

Hey I got one from Lenord Vaughn-It was some type of Thank you for Ln, and another this morning that was some type of Employee List- Norton caught the first one yesterday, and the one from this morning well I caught it before I opened it- It was from Lenord Vaughn a hotmail account.

We got it thru email and one dumb executive who's outside of our firewalls. Hey Mongo, have you
successfully cleaned it?

Just as a tip (since, I spent the whole night last night in this office dealing with this thing) try this on a PC that you think you already cleaned. Go to the registry editor in Win95/98 (Start, Run, "regedit", Enter). Look for the "Gone.scr" in this following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run

If you see it there, your PC is still infected. Once that PC is re-booted, that file gets initialized again and cause more problems. You should delete it if you see it.
