Updating my address book - Virus alert

If you receive an e-mail message entitled "Updating my address book," even from someone you know, Beware! Don't click on the link. It may be a virus.

I recently received such a message from a former business contact, and thinking it was okay, clicked on the link. Bad news. It appears to have infected my home page to the point that the page doesn't even load on my screen anymore--not even from other computers.

I checked a few computer message boards, and sure enough, it's some kind of new virus.

Does anyone out there know anything about this virus? What is it, what kind of damage does it do, and how can I get rid of it and restore my home page?

Nite Ernie.
OK, I'll let you know
all about "my" storm.

Looks like it has moved inland and is delivering water south of the border, they could probably use it:
