Neg. Just like the old Blaster/Lovsan virus, it's spread over the internet. An infected computer (starting with the originator), sends out commands to another computer based on a random IP address. If you don't have the security patch from Microsoft (Windows Update, one of the critical updates and security patches), and this hits your IP address (and you don't have a firewall), you'll get the virus.

No emails to open. No programs to download. No webpage to visit. It just hits you if you don't have Windows up-to-date with Security patches.

If you guys have any questions about this, post away and I'll answer them as I read them. Part of what I do at work is to research all new viruses and make sure all our computers here are okay.
