Nasty one that. So yes keep vigilant everyone. I always check my emails closely. Anything remotely dodgy and it's deleted before being read. :)

Here's what Datafellows/F-Secure says about it

AVG7 update 265.4.1 detects Sober.I

No Removal Tool as yet,
Startupmanagers should detect the registry entries it creates, that and the notes in the DataFellows page provide enough information for manual disinfection by experienced users.

Keep ya all posted if I get any news source newsletters on this one, I am signed up to loads of security newsletters online. :)
