the Nimda (admin backwards) is coming as a .exe file. Best thing you can do if you don't have any anti-virus software is to not run any .exe file that you get in e-mail.

It also is causing hell on network printers. If your printer starts to do some strange things, turn it off, turn your computer off and unplug from the internet.
