What no one seems to have mentioned yet though is that is a P2P worm.

Uses Gnutella protocol to spread through p2p clients like BearShare that implements this protocol.

From what I have been told I believe you have to be using a P2P programe and downloading pirated stuff in order to get this particular virus.
