New email virus

<A HREF="http://www.pandasoftware.com/">Panda Software</A> warns users of a new email virus: W32/Frethem.K. While this email worm carries a rather low threat level, it is spreading rapidly throughout Europe. The email message carries only one subject field: "Re: Your password!" and, as Klez, exploits the vulnerability in Internet Explorer 5.01 and 5.5 that allows the virus to run automatically when the user views the message in the preview pane.
