FWIW if you've installed service pack 2 for XP you really aren't prone to those attacks from what I've been told

If it did contain a virus don't yah think WIRED would have said a LITTLE bit about it in the piece above (no mention)

Viral in this sense means a cultural virus. People that see the video become the vectors that spread the video.

Viral ad makes use of the viewer rather than the company to spread the vert.
