If you are using outlook as your mail client and are sent the virus with
your the preview pane on, you will fire off the exe. Turning the pane on
and off can be done under the 'View' menu for those not familiar with where
it lives. Then if you get an unknown email you can just delete. Be careful
of mails from friends with attachments as the virus scans for old subject
lines and uses those instead of easily recognizable ones.

Very nasty indeed. Not only through compromised websites, but through email
(with attachment of readme.exe - that doesn't een have to be opened!) and
through the unicode hole that allowed the code red worm through.
Cheers.

I'll skip saying this is off topic but I just spent a long day on this
problem and needed to share.
This virus is pretty nasty since one way it infects your pc is thru
compromised websites. I would recommend going to
http://housecall.antivirus.com/housecall/start_corp.asp and scanning your
machine.
