worm returns

Zotab.x is the latest worm/virus to make its' way around the world.

Don't the attachments have to be in the form of something executable? Couldn't you simply prevent anything like .scr, .exe, .com, .bat .doc from being saved or run from an e-mail.

If someone had a jpg with the worm, and they opened the jpg - the worm couldn't start executing, could it? I don't think so.

Somebody told me that it was possible for an attachment to infect your PC without actually opening it. What do you think? Is that true?
