Story: Sobig.F is 'worst variant yet'

If you use the preview pane in Outlook Express, you don't need to open an email to get a virus. Shut off the preview pane and go to your email options/security and check the box that says "Do not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentially contain a virus." I also check-mark the box that says "Alert me when other applications try to send mail as me." This (along with a virus scanner and firewall) should protect you from catching and spreading a virus. Keep Windows updated and download all the critical updates!
