[muglo] Symantec Virus alert ?

I received this today fro  Symantec
What is W32.Novarg.A@mm and how does it affect me?

W32.Novarg.A@mm is an encrypted mass-mailing worm that arrives as an 
attachment, with either a .exe, .scr, .zip, or .pif extension.

Note: Symantec Consumer products that support Worm Blocking 
functionality automatically detect this threat as it attempts to 
spread.

The worm creates a mass mailing of itself, which may:

1. Clog mail servers or degrade network performance
2. Impact system performance

This worm is currently undergoing analysis. The record at Security 
Response will be updated as information becomes available.

Is this applicable to Macs ?

Or are they just trying to chase up more business ?   :-)
