Worm.SomeFool.Gen-1 message found in email

This was in my yahoo email today, first, I didn't send anything to anyone.
Secondly, can't find this worm/virus anywhere on any anti virus site. Is
this a scam?
I edited my email so it would not get posted.
Thanks

Ignore it. Lots of current viruses spoof the sender so as to appear at a
quick glance to have come from a different location than the really did.
What's more important is that you didn't open the e-mail and run the
attachment and thus infect your PC.

There was no attachment, but I had to open the email to see what it was.
Just text.
Thanks a ton.

Ah, on re-reading your post I see it was a notification that an e-mail
apparently from you (which it wasn't as it had spoofed the sender address to
be yours) that contained the virus. The virus had been removed.

It appears that Worm.SomeFool is another name for the more familiar
W32/Netsky.b@MM, presumably including the writers of the scanning software
used by icafe8.ion.co.za
