Or just learn not to open unknown attachments, it's the cheaper option if you don't already have a mac

One must remember that the average user knows very little (about computers).

Wow that's one sensationalist article.

It's another worm. A big one, but not 'a perfect storm'.

The scary thing is, imagine how many business systems this could be on due to rubbish antiphishing/spyware software and the dumb secretary?

Are you insinuating that the average user knows very little about anything?
Taking the meaning of your brackets in the way you pointed out yesterday this would appear to be the case.

Amp34 · 21 Oct 2007 at 23:08

but reputable security professionals cite estimates of between one million and 50 million computers worldwide.

So they have a pretty accurate figure then?
