To be honest you would have to be extremmly stupid to be caught oput by that virus, but unfortunatly, lots of people are
Also now as more people migrate to BB the spread is enhanced as the BB connection can send out more mails with the virus on them more quickly than on a dial up.

My PC got it on Tuesday midday. Yes User error, opening an attachment. It was saved and scanned but suppliers virus patterns had not yet been updated for it! I'd updated 4 hours earler! It sent out at least 150 mails before I hit the lock on Zone Alarm, that was in the space of a minute.

Of course then you have to work out how to disable it while not having access to the net. Aargh.
