Yes.  It hit a couple of the mailing lists I maintain last night, and my
mailbox has been full of messages from various systems with anti-virus
protection.  I've removed the originals from the lists.

Every time one of these things hits, I have to wonder why people keep
using Windows, and endangering their data and time.
