Yeah, i got an email about this:

Nimda
Nimda is the latest computer infection threat. According to all the virus experts, Nimda is one of the worst ever. If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 or older, you're vulnerable unless you've already installed the Microsoft Security Upgrades.

If you've already been infected, you can find some help on the Internet. Proland Software offers CleanND.EXE, a utility that will seek out and remove Nimda.
