OMG delete it ..were you get that version of Incredimail from..can i have a copy of it

Hell, don't install anything you get through email unless your expecting it. Only use the MS website and windows update.
Micosoft doesn't distribute updates through Email.

One other thing, turn off VB extention support in your machine. It will stop most any virus/worm/torjan from running.

remove all of the subkeys of all the VBS, .vbs, and WSH keys in the HKeyClassRoot hive of the registry. Then change your email program to only show text, and not to use Active content. This changes the way most emails are seen, but it's much safer. if you rely on HTML/Richtext, then you need to use an email scanning program that removes code before it displays the message.
