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.
dK 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.
