 From the Snopes reference included here:

    <http://www.foxnews.com/scitech/2010/09/10/protect-virus/>.

    *Update:*   This virus has since been referenced in a warning that
    *exaggerates its effects by lifting wording from the years-old "Life
    is beautiful
    <http://www.snopes.com/computer/virus/lifeisbeautiful.asp>" virus
    hoax:*

    Anyone-using Internet mail such as Yahoo, Hotmail, AOL and so on.

Evidently the warning was enhanced here. Understand, this is a dangerous 
virus, but it has been out for a year, and the best protection is a good 
antivirus program.

 From the link above, How to protect yourself...

*But the easiest way to protect yourself from this and other viruses is 
the simplest: Make sure you're running an anti-virus program and make 
sure it's up to date.* PCMag.com security analyst Neil J. Rubenking 
agreed, stressing the importance of your own actions in keeping you safe.

"People! DO NOT click links in e-mail messages from unknown people. DO 
NOT even click links in e-mail messages from your friend, since the real 
source of the message might be a virus. DO keep your computer protected 
with an antivirus <http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2368554,00.asp> 
or a security suite <http://go.pcmag.com/securitysuites>," he wrote in 
an entry on the Security Watch blog.

"That way if you click the wrong link in a fit of weakness, you'll still 
be protected from whatever new threat replaces 'here you have,'" he 
pointed out.
