I realised I had the MSN emoticon of that panda with joss-stick, immediately this morning I on my PC and deleted it away after my sister warned me of it. Actually, after reading about the virus, I think the MSN emoticon doesn't work like the virus, the virus only renders all the EXE files to that icon (panda).
Quoted from http://www.sophos.com
"The virus, known as Fujacks-I and Fujacks-J (also called worm.whboy in some media reports), was already detected proactively by Sophos's behavioral genotype technology as Mal/Packer.
Although the Shanghai Daily story reports that all infections have so far been on Chinese-language versions of Windows, this is not a limitation of Fujacks. The virus will run and spread on English language Windows, too. Indeed, Fujacks can spread rapidly across an infected PC because it is a parasitic virus, using existing EXE files as hosts to infect. This means that a single PC may end up with hundreds of copies of the virus on it.
Additionally, Fujacks spreads to network shares and onto removable disk devices such as USB keys, music players and cameras. Fujacks creates a hidden AUTORUN file on removable devices, in the hope of spreading the virus automatically when an infected device is inserted into another PC."
