Without trying to spark a debate about OS X security, this is nothing
to worry about.
First, you have to wonder within range of an infected unit with
bluetooth turned on, your laptop turned on etc.
Then YOU HAVE TO AUTHORISE the connection that the infected unit
tries to make.
And to top it all off, the worm is not in the "wild" yet (insert own
conspiracy theory here about how Symantec came "to have a copy" if
it's not in the wild yet.... Symantec go on and on for months that
'06 is the year OS X security will be breached, and then magically
two half arsed worm/virii/trojan/malware whatever magically show up
in their own labs, but not in the wild... hmmmmm.)
Nothing to worry about here folks, move along.
- Cheers
