Have a look at the description and removal instructions from the Symantec site:
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/vbs.numgame@mm.html

As to preventing viruses, DO NOT automatically open e-amil attachments from anyone, even those in your contact book.

If the e-mail looks suspicious, then it probably is suspicious as it could have come froma friends infected machine.

Make sure you update your anti-virus software at least once per week.
