This is a very good example of the poor security on the net. In my case didn't work this "virus" which is more a Trojan than a virus! (in my opinion). The code is wide open and it speculates the security ignorance.
I'm using a procmail script, which detects any script that come as attachment and it, detach into the body as clear text! So basically this "virus" was show to my users as clear text, meaning less for theirs minds!
If is binary (and its' signature isn't on my list) it will rename the file to avoid any user mistake.
