Please watch for messages purporting to be from Midwest Airlines :

What doesn't show is my ESET report
[virus a variant of Win32/AutoRun.XG worm]
Oh great gurus, I didn't open the attachment but as I did open the message, how can I be sure I'm safe! Have run ESET again but that is probably futile given they 'caught' the message.
I tend to get paranoid at time.

If you didn’t open the attachment, you should be alright. The email without the attachment should be harmless, what sort of problems do you have?
You can find more about it here

I had a similar one.
Apparently I had bought a holiday to Brazil. No attachment and not once did it ask me for any ID or credit card details. Called my bank, nothing had been deducted in my account. Seems a strange way get someones details.
