Default I am not sure how the virus works, but just because you are getting an e-mail from Audiworld it ...

does not mean that Audiworld is infected. I get e-mails from addresses that do not exist! This virus gets a domain name from various files, and then appends names to it...

Default Switch to apple

I've own apple for 12 years now and still haven't got any viruses. But I see them all the time as e-mail attachement for windows. Basically, don't download anything with the extension .exe; for, it's an executable program.
