Yes. My ISP is removing it as spam. It's a known issue:

--------------------------------------

WHAT IS IT?
W32/Palyh@MM is a worm that spreads via e-mail and network shares.  The
Microsoft Product Support Services Security Team is issuing this alert to
advise customers to be on the alert for this virus as it spreads in the
wild.  Customers are advised to review the information and take the
appropriate action for their environments.

IMPACT OF ATTACK: Mass-mailing

TECHNICAL DETAILS:
W32/Palyh@MM spreads via e-mail and network shares.  This worm spoofs the
address [log in to unmask]  While [log in to unmask] is a valid
e-mail address Microsoft does not send unsolicited e-mail containing
attachments to our customers.  Information on Microsoft's official response
to all virii of this nature can be found here:

It doesn't do anything at all on the Mac, of course. (Unless you choose to
receive email in Virtual PC, where it will only affect VPC, nothing outside
it.)
