W32/ProLin@MM is a High risk Internet Worm
http://vil.mcafee.com/dispVirus.asp?virus_k=98909&

When run, this Internet worm will write a copy of itself to the local system in these folders:

c:\creative.exe
c:\[WINDOWS folder]\TEMP\creative.exe
c:\[WINDOWS folder]\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp\creative.exe

It then will send a copy of itself via MAPI email to all users in the address book. As a final note, it sends a note to presumably the author:

Author = z14xym432@yahoo.com
Subject = Job complete
Body = Got yet another idiot

never open an attachment to email, that is a program, especially when you dont know the person sending it.. and be very suspicious of files sent to you by people you do know.. kinda cruel, but its the best method of prevention against worm and trojan and virus attacks to your system.. don't send anything to anyone and don't download/install anything from anyone.. if you really want the file, ask them where they got it and go get it yourself.. if its not from zdnet, cnet, winfiles, etc.. then don't trust it to be clean.
