You can prevent such dangerous pieces of code to cause any harm by using an organ called "brain". I mean, who'd type in his admin password to open a picture? And I didn't even know the file's 2.3GB big until I saw a screencapture of it... lol
And as Apple already replied:
“Leap-A is not a virus, it is malicious software that requires a user to download the application and execute the resulting file,” said Apple. “Apple always advises Macintosh users to only accept files from vendors and Web sites that they know and trust. We have a guide to safely handling files received from the Internet at

a virus (trojan) which
only
passes through iChat, which
asks
to be downloaded, then needs to be
upacked
before it does it's nefarious bidnezz.
Totally unimpressed. Surely they can do better.

Well this is my personal opinion after only briefly reviewing the chat
about it...
This isn't a virus, not by proper definition anyway. It's simply a piece of
malware - a program that can do nothing automatically or without user
interaction. A virus is a program that is semi or even fully autonomous.
When you launch Photoshop, by double clicking it, you get a cool environment
for manipulating images.
When you launch this little ditty, by double clicking it, you get a program
that replicates itself and tries to do some other things - a couple of
things which also require an Admin pass to be entered.
The only viral thing about it, it appears, is that it uses trickery to get
the first launch to started by the user, and then leads the user through the
steps necessary to get it to do the rest of it's thing(s).
Kinda like most other email attachments, my answer to customers would
probably be, "Don't freaking double-click shit that you don't know from
whence it came" Or, on the other hand, for the sake of our service
department revenue, I might tell them, "Hell yeah, double click on stuff you
don't know about! I do it all the time...like when I receive something from
a person I've never even heard of I'm really interested in seeing the
pictures he's sending me!" Then I quote our service labor rate for fixing
stuff.

MacUber, as a number of sites has alredy mentioned. And Civic in the spam thread.
It's more of a Trojan than a malware.
