Kamasutra confuses network security experts

Hold on perverts!! this is not related with old indian ancient book about love techniques,its actually a new worm which spreads via email.
Nyxem-E aka Kama Sutra is a mass-mailing worm which attempts to disable security-related and file-sharing software and destroys files of certain types. When run on a Windows PC, the worm copies itself to shared network locations, and sends itself to e-mail addresses found on the target computer. Nyxem-E, according to F-Secure, is programmed to disable anti-virus and firewall software, and delete certain files including Office documents, on the third day of every month.
further,
The Kama Sutra worm arrives as an e-mail attachment, with different subject lines including “School girl fantasies gone bad,” “The Best Videoclip Ever,” “A Great Video,” “give me a kiss,” “Fwd: Photo,” “Fw: Sexy,” “You Must View This Videoclip!” “Miss Lebanon 2006,” etc

Oh, This entery can be devastating.
Does Gmail, otmail and Yahoo Ids put these mails directly into spam collection or we have to manage these type of alerts by ourselves?!!

Its not the way to treat this kind of threats. If everyone starts using linux only due to the reason that windows is vulnerable to these kinds of threats, one day viruses like kamasutra with more funny names will start beating the hell out of linux, Treat everything properly for yourself and for others.
NO offences…
