If you run Windows, keep your AV software up-to-date and you should be fine. If not, you probably don't have to worry, although OsX will start getting these things too sooner or later. These guys are script kiddies taking advantage of people taking no precautions at all. That isn't to say that the infected people deserve any blame, just that you don't have to do much work to protect yourself.
