I agree with you that this virus relies on people
doing something they shouldn't -- either opening an
email attachment or (in my case) sharing a drive on a
network without password authentication.
However, this particular virus is pretty clever in the
way it emails itself around. It combines an inocuous
message with a real document from your hard disk. For
instance, my sister-in-law got an email from me
labelled "Re: Houses" and a message saying "I am
sending you this file for your advice". My
sister-in-law is a professional decorator and she
knows my house is undergoing renovations. In this
particular case I can hardly fault her for being taken
in.
A few other people who I work with on various projects
also got emails with subject lines matching some of
the work we were doing and a sensible sounding
attachment.
