"The worm will not automatically infect Mac computers, but will ask users to accept the file..."

Ahh, the tried and true method of breaking into a computer: if you can't write a worm that automatically hacks into the person's computer, then directly ask them for the key to the front door. So if someone you don't know knocks, don't answer.

This is definitely NOT a "manly" worm/virus. It doesn't attack and gain entry to the computer via an open hole (such as the MS SQL Slammer worm). This is a "girly" worm.

Still, no "real" worms made for OSX, though.
