Never received such thing yet!

But my guess is that as they are arabic names of ppl u don't know then they might be ppl who had been effected by the virus and the mail is spreading based on their mail diary.

That would be my guess, i don't have any relied on source concerning this!

The Yaha-K virus is activated when the attachment of the infected e-mail is opened. If the preview setting in the e-mail program is on, the virus is activated immediately, without the attachment being opened.

You better update ur virus definitions if they are not navy and do a scan.... else visit the page below to download a special program for that and for more info on the yaha virus...
