Hmmmm... wonder if this little bugger can infect Kubuntu? No it can't... another good moment to leave the clutches of Redmond I think ;-)

Yes, can you please mention "this affects Windows users" or something. It's not an issue for Mac or Linux or other systems.

I had just seen a study done where a web site was setup with a link named "download virus here" I wish I could find the post but was sad to see how many people actualy clicked the link. Of course, there was no real virus used in the study.

that most people would know what a .pif file is? Its not as if its a file format that people come across frequently...

Cross network worms were one of the subjects of one presentation that I did with some friends during last Blackhat Europe. I would say that's just the first evolution. If they follow the points discussed during the presentation more things are coming. :-)
