I just got the KAK worm from someone in Australia. This worm is invoked just by having the e-mail displayed in the Preview Pane of Outlook Express. You don't have to execute anything. My Norton Anti-Virus caught it, so I wasn't infected. I've also disabled the Preview Pane in Outlook and downloaded the Microsoft patch discussed in the following virus explanation. The KAK worm isn't destructive like ILOVEYOU was, but it's only a matter of time before someone uses the same vulnerabilty KAK exploited to put a real nasty one out there. fsecure.com
