Does anyone know about the "virus" going around from http://imdownloads.net/profile.php?MSN="EmailAddressHere" where "EmailAddressHere" is the victim's e-mail. The user then downloads an exe. Does anyone know any more information?

If you don't click on the link you should be safe.
Just delete the message.
It is not necessarily the person who the message is supposed to be from that has the virus either.
