Its my estimate it will only be a few days until this hits windows XP.

Some useful information is at http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/zotob_a.shtml

The biggest thing I can think of is to have users assign strong 
passwords to their Administrator accounts. If you want to do things 
right, take the following steps:

- Disable the Admin account entirely and take it out of every group
- Create a separate account with administrator permissions whose 
username is inconspicuous
- Primarily use an account with minimal permissions, when installing 
programs and doing other various administrative duties you can right 
click on the program and select "run as"

This is the type of mentality UNIX and subsequently macs use that most 
windows users haven’t caught on to yet. I just hope when vista comes out 
Microsoft will smarten up and tighten administrator access.
