It does not seem to infect websites. The virus comes in the form of email attachments and programs spread by p2p programs. The virus can be neutralised by anti-virus software before it kicks in (every third of the month.)

The virus affects Windows based machines. This site is housed on a RedHat Linux server. So the short answer is there is nothing to be worried about.

It did a lot lot less damage [as in, next to nothing] than originally expected. Just another modern day scare.
