"Win32" = "%winsysdir%\Shakira_1997_part_1_.Mpeg_.scr"

Thank you. I'll pass this information along, though I'm not sure it's the same virus. The email I received had no attachment to open. It invited recipients to visit a website an join "My Life" -- supposedly as a way to keep in touch with friends. Joining the site is what triggered the virus for my relative.
