Computer Virus Scare? Some Kwnowledeable Answers Out There?

I understand it's affected only XP systems. But I do not know how large institutional XP got infected. The virus is supposed to only load if a link is clicked. How did so many systems get fooled...

Microsoft has issued a FIX for the problem for free for all XP and windows 7 users.

Make sure you have windows update installed and set to automatically download and install updates.
This should prevent infection
You could/should run something like malwarebytes or window malicious removal update to see if you are infected.
