The 12KB Bomb
Kelly Martin, 2004-03-17

It only takes a 12KB virus for total system compromise and a highly effective spam engine. Anyone can make one. Some assembly required.

Exactly !! and all these worms are spreading not beacause of some 'hole' in windows, they are spreading because of the lameness of windows users who are simply executing whatever they recieve as an attachment.
Similar kind of things can happen on any *nix also if users starts executing the recieved attachments blatantly; and may be even smaller code will do the similar nuisance :-p.I guess it's not about the OS !
