My service provider runs F-Secure Anti-Virus for all email so I can
confirm that there indeed is 'W32/Sober.C at mm' virus in the attachment.
Not that this confirmation would be needed.

Or is it? Do people really think like this:
"I always open attachments sent to _Jack_ by _Monty_ _from_Norway_
or anyone who has already committed a crime against me and admitted it.
Hmm, I wonder why I got this mail sent to Jack in the first place?
Maybe the mailman made a mistake.
No worries, I'll open the attachment anyway."
