Yes according to the Symantec site (they've got a free fix as well)
there's now a whole list of ones *with different titles* such as
"Mothers Day Order Confirmation", "fwd: joke" & even one "Dangerous
Virus Warning" & with slightly modified contents (& title)

But more annoying is the Seti Server has stopped receiving results at
about the same time, so I hope they haven't been infected & panicked &
destroyed a whole lot of data.
