Yes.  And this one deletes files from your computer as well as resending itself to your address book members.  DO NOT CLICK ON THE ATTACHMENT.

This virus is fatal if "ingested", a.k.a. downloaded and opened.  As always the case, do not open files, especially executable files from people, even from friends.  

Norton and McAfee have already got pathces for them.  M$FT got a patch for the Outlook 2000, but not too many people bothered to download the patch.  Hence the lull in our security.
