I received this today fro Symantec
What is W32.Novarg.A@mm and how does it affect me?
W32.Novarg.A@mm is an encrypted mass-mailing worm that arrives as an
attachment, with either a .exe, .scr, .zip, or .pif extension.
Note: Symantec Consumer products that support Worm Blocking
functionality automatically detect this threat as it attempts to
spread.
The worm creates a mass mailing of itself, which may:
1. Clog mail servers or degrade network performance
2. Impact system performance
This worm is currently undergoing analysis. The record at Security
Response will be updated as information becomes available.

Is this applicable to Macs ?
Or are they just trying to chase up more business ? :-)
