Upcoming Feb 3 worm attack on Microsoft Windows systems

Is anyone considering special archives for all their windows servers
because of this worm or is someone here is over reacting?
Antivirus vendors are warning of a rapidly spreading worm that is
carrying a potentially destructive set of instructions. The Nyxem worm
-- also nicknamed the Kama Sutra worm -- is programmed to overwrite all
of the files on computers it infects on Feb. 3, said Mikko Hypponen,
chief research officer at F-Secure Corp.
F-Secure researchers found the worm truncates files to 20 bytes and
causes an error message when one is opened, he said.
