# let's face it
if there's someone at work dim enough to just open random attachments to emails then you're going to lose it eventually...

# * geek stuff *
It spreads across networks via port 135, exploiting a hole in windows. you don't have to using p2p. Everyone at our work got it, and most of them don't know what p2p is.
