Yes, you have to open the attachment. As for Kazaa lite, I'm not sure. My version of Kazaa lite certainly doesn't have any inbuilt AV.

There are viruses that can spread via HTML documents, but this particular one only arrives (via email, that is) in the form of an attachment.
The HTML ones still prompt you to download and install something (install on demand, i think they call it) although some contain 'ActiveX objects' which can in theory install themselves without your knowledge. I'm pretty sure that MS sorted that security flaw out quite a while ago, though.
HTML itself cannot contain viruses since viruses are either executable code, or bits of executable code whereas HTML is a mark-up language that is parsed by your web browser, windows itself does not 'run' HTML.

I got sent this virus 5 times in 3 days last week, all from different Hungarian email addresses
Twas no match for Norton Anti Virus 2004 tho
Dunno what i did to upset the Hungarian community...
If anyone is unlucky enough to get infected with this virus, you can get the MyDoom a&b Worm Remover
