Its sad how easy this is to prevent
If people only ran Windows with non-administrator accounts, most of the worms (not viruses) wouldn't have a chance. At minimum, they wouldn't be able to shut down your AV processes and delete them from the HD. Technically speaking, ANY system that allows outgoing network connections and is being operated by a human vulnerable to simple social engineering tricks is vulnerable to an email worm but that simple precaution would make things more difficult.
