Jefferson-Is this a known problem? Trojans?

Hello Everyone, A friend of mine was opening an email in front of me when her XP machine crashed. I thought maybe it was a power spike or something so she powered up and went back to the email, clicked to view the message from hotmail.com, the machine powered off again. She erased the message before I could forward it to an offsite machine, but the details as I remember them were: Sender=Jefferson (she knows a Jefferson) Subject=(blank) Open the message and immediately powers off the machine. My question to you is, now that her machine is possibly comprimised, what tools can I use to check for trojans or other things that could have been installed. I've run her Symantec System Scanning tool, and it shows no known problems. Has anyone heard of this specific message, and is it simply designed to be annoying or does it install malware on the machine? I know this information is vague, any advise is welcome.
