it's so...wrong, isn't it.

be very careful opening attachments in your email. as a matter of fact, don't open any attachments unless you already know someone was sending it to you.

I think you may automatically (and accidentally) open the JPEG as well if it's posted on a site and you happen to be browsing that site and it's uploaded there. That's the part that's scaring me.

I meant to ask about this a while ago when my mom had heard about it on the news and told me about it, and then I totally forgot. Thanks for the heads up, ShiHi. ^_^

lol read about this, apparently the coding was bad so instead of messing uo the victims computer, it only crashed it. Which can be fixed by a reboot.

I don't think it's bad enough to make me move to SP2. And, correct me if I'm wrong, but the article said "this does not affect SP2," not "this is fixed in SP2" ... hinting that there should be an update for SP1 holdouts.
