As stated before a new virus is making the rounds.  If you receive an
email with "Re:Movie" as the subject, delete it immediately.  Do not
open the attachment.  This is a Windows based virus.  This worm is
called SoBig:E as it is the 5th variant of the original Sobig.

So far I have been unable to find a stand alone removal tool but
Symantec (Norton Anti Virus) has updated its signatures to recognize
this new variant.  All UTC Windows based computers should be protected
soon via automatic update.
