We heard about it at work but were totally unaffected by it. (Just
block/delete/filter the attachments at the mailserver
level...noooooooooo problems.) They (your users) can't click on what
doesn't get through. Hotmail/Yahoomail, etc. is a whole other story,
but that's user education.

It's even more insidious than that. I just got home from work, we have
been cleaning up from it since 3 PM and we will have people working
through
the night.
It's friggin EVIL the way it spreads. Luckily it was contained to one
room
(gee, just our server room) and only hit 13 of about 100 servers. As
soon
as we found an infected box, its network line was yanked.
