URGENT: Karma Sutra PC Virus

WARNING: Real virus threat: Karma Sutra, will render uselses your Microsoft Office files, delete or disable antivirus programs, mass-email it'self to everyone in your outlook address book, and disable your internet connection on Friday the 3rd if you don't get rid of it beforehand. I assume it got it's name from the many ways it is sure to screw you over. Fortunately Microsoft has a detection and removal tool you can download on the 14th. YES, 11 days after the virus is activated! Tech Web news reports. The GOOD news is, if you have been keeping your Anti-virus software up to date, you should have nothing to worry about, but if you have any reservations, you can get a removal tool HERE from Symantec Security. The only way your PC would be infected is if you had ither opened an attachment infecting your machine, or are networked to a system that had, and your PC was set up for un-secured network file sharing. Oh, and no, this is not a joke.
