  Looking at this world map, Singapore is affected as well.
  
  As for the time when this virus starts overwriting your files, it is 30 mins after your computer has started.

  Ok, first of all, can you open your Microsoft Word files? If there is a message prompting you that "The file is corrupted" or similar message, chances are that you got this virus.

  Please activate the anti-popups. If you don't, they will keep popping up. If anti-popups is activated and there are still popups, most likely you have got spyware(s) on your computer.
  
  What is the message like? What application did they say need to end?

  Update
  
  Please check the F-Secure blog daily for updates.
  
  Here's the latest report.
  
  

  So far today we haven't received any significant Nyxem damage reports.
  
  Vast majority of the machines infected by Nyxem are home computers. Nothing will happen on them until people get home from work and boot up their machines. Half an hour later the damage starts. The user won't realise what's going on until an hour or two later, when it's already late Friday night.
  
  The full scope of the problem won't come to light until during the weekend or early next week.
  
  We'd like to think that they whole problem was avoided and everybody cleaned up their machines in time. But unfortunately that's probably not true.

  Wow, users found ways to trick that virus.
  
  So, in actual fact, this virus is not as bad as we thought.
  
  Can rest liao.
  
  From F-Secure Blog:
  
  So, Nyxem.E had infected hundreds of thousands of computers over the last two weeks. It activated on Friday, overwriting data. But almost nobody reported any problems. So what happened?
  
  Well, probably several things, including:
  
  - The amount of machines that were really infected still on Friday was much smaller than the total amount of machines that got infected (and cleaned) during the whole outbreak. This number is probably in the tens of thousands. Which is not a lot of computers out of, say, one billion computers in the world.
  
  - Many of the infected machines were not rebooted on Friday. They were simply running all the time. The worm only does damage when you start the machine on the 3rd.
  
  - Many infected home machines were shut down all of Friday, and nothing happened. People went to movies, bars, parties on Friday night instead of surfing.
  
  - The media coverage on the whole incident prompted many people to check their system and clean them up in time.
  
  So, does this mean there weren't any problems reported, anywhere? Well, no. We had some isolated support calls to our country offices from home users who were hit.
  
  The virus writer must be jumping with anger already. The virus he wrote actually didn't have much effect.
