If you don't recognize it, delete it. It is probably itself a trojan or a worm. Any time you are faced with something that ASKS YOU to install it unsolicitedly, say no. As a matter of fact, to avoid exposure to risk as much as possible, I would advise:
1. If you don't recognize it and it has a X box to close it, DO NOT USE THAT BOX! It is completely possible for a hacker to write code that "covers up" the close dialog box and captures your click and uses it to install itself. I'm not a hacker, but I am a programmer and it's not a terribly tricky bit of code even for me.
2. Install a java script blocker and a popup blocker. I use Firefox exclusively and it has many excellent extensions that will do this for you. My favorites are NoScript to block javascript in web pages (black list all by default and allows you to white list sites individually. Pain in the *** until you spend some time training it to let in the stuff you want, but WELL worth it) and Firefox itself does good for handling popup blocking. Also, I would download and install AdAware and SpyBot. Spybot also has a feature that isn't turned on by default that you may seriously want to use called TeaTime. It watches for any registry changes (the registry is where all your computer's settings are stored. Ever wonder how it knows your name or where your programs are installed?) Often when Norton Antivirus and everything else has missed an incoming problem, I'll be able to pick up on it because it tried to change the registry to either a) disable something like Norton or b) install itself or give itself permission to get past firewalls etc. All of these are free. I let TeaTime run at startup thouroughly check my computer about once a week. Maximum PC's back issues has a great article about avoiding and killing bugs, but I forget which. Look about 1 to 1 1/2 years back

If I were you I would seriously think twice about downloading anything from an address that you don't recognize, especially if it's asking you to download something that "supposedly" eliminates a computer worm. For all you know, once you click the attachment ,to download the eliminator, it could actually release the worm itself. Be very careful when it comes to things like that.
I hope this helps. Good luck!!

NEVER install anything that a stranger sends you. One of the most common tactics of hackers is to claim that the program they want you to install will protect you from a security threat like worms or spyware. In actuality, the program they want you to install probably is a worm or Trojan which will either mess up your computer, steal all your info, or hijack your email account so that they can send out spam using your account and leave you to face the consequences.

Do NOT install it. Do NOT open any attachment in that e mail!
Instead of eliminating some "network worm", that e mail will more than likely end up INFECTING your computer with the Stration Worm. Read here:

Just delete that e mail and any others like it. Stration is very commonplace at the moment and you could be getting more of the same sort of infected e mails.
Good luck.
