It's annoying how easily these things spread even though they don't rely on
a specific OS vulnerabililty -- hell, it's an executable *in a zipfile*, so
it requires opening the zipfile and then running the program inside it.  Of
course everyone will run it, even though it's named dygfwefuih.exe (random
characters before .exe).  <grumble>

Sure they do....its called COM/DCOM/OLE/ActiveX or whatever they 
want to call it this week.  Its on every windows system.
