Thanks dude...
They've warned us company wide about this one and it looks legit (most aren't) and dangerous...
Thanks for the reminder...I'm going home after work and making sure.

It was my understanding that this virus comes attached to an email with a risque subject line. So in order to get the worm, you actually have to open a trashy email and attempt to download a porno picture to get the virus.
So...seems simple to me. Stay away from the trash and your computer will be safe.

It doesn't always come in a "trashy" e-mail. It could have a subject title - "Please approve" or "Hi from mom" or something like that. Yes, usually there is an attachment that has to be open, but sometimes they can embed it in a graphic so when your email system downloads the graphic - it downloads the virus also.
Basically, if you have your virus protection up to date - you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
