Yup, apparently it's going to attack on april first. Microsoft released a patch for the RPC vulnerability the worm exploits, it's right here:

And yeah, usb thumbdrives are a huge virus infection vector, so disabling autoplay and pressing the shift key while plugging one in, and accesing it from the folder browser are good security measures not to get infected.

Be safe guys! :mrgreen:
