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...

How do big systems get infected.. Cats (Well that's one way) Yes Cats.
Suzie over at her secretary's terminal downloads a cute little TSR that has a cat walking across the top of any page opened in Windowed Mode... Or Bob, he downloads a cute cat video so as to impress Suzie cause he likes her and knows she likes cats.. Or Harry (Real person) Downloads a Clown Photo (He really did) that is infected

All on the company system... Note I left off Harry's last name.. That one got me eventually. I did get rid of it however.
