This is actually not quite accurate.  One has to execute the program for it 
to activate.  The 
program then gives you a graphic to the screen that's pretty unmistakeable.  
If you don't know 
whether you activated it or not, you probably didn't.  You can also navigate 
to the 
\WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and check for files named ska.* -- you should have 
an ska.dll if the 
worm has executed.
