The follow-up message > sent to AUDITORY contains some good advice. For those who use Microsoft Outlook: 1. Remove all mailing lists from your Outlook address book. That limits the distribution when the virus strikes. 2. Put a dummy contact in your address book with a name starting with AAA.., and with no mail address. When Outlook is told to send a mail to a recipient with no mail address, it stops and puts a message on screen. When this happens you immediately should kill Outlook and the process wscript.exe, or reboot. This will not protect your own machine, but it will stop further distribution of the virus.
