Title: Message

Doesn't come in email, it comes via the Internet using Remote Procedure Call (RPC) protocol of late MS products.  If you're on the Internet (and you are by using email), there's a chance it got by your ISP before it was discovered.  If not, you're lucky.  The actual number of computers infected is huge in numbers but very miniscule in the total scheme of things.   It's getting hyped because of a cryptic message in the code bashing "Billy Gates" for releasing such buggy software.  It's designed as a denial of service attack against the Microsoft update site.  If the hacker was so concerned, why not submit to MS the vulnerabililty instead of expoiting it and ruining things for the consumers?
