I think that it is:
a) Users that run unsolicited applications. If they run the LoveBug then they would run an .exe file that systematically formats your hard drive. You can't protect against that.
b) Mail programs that run applications without the users approval first. This is the bigger problem, and why the virus is so rife.
I don't think that there is much IT managers can do about either of these things (except avoid the stupid mail clients which is kind of difficult).
