This worm started this morning (GMT) and was going very slowly, it has now
taken off and is wreaking havoc on many very large companies.

Nothing automatic about it, includes a SCReen saver attachments (note the
capitalized letters, they are the extension). This one should never have
gotten legs, plain and simple block attachments at your email gateway.

Check your AV company for update details, although their sites may be very
busy.

Cheers,
