You mean besides P2P, IRC, E-Mail, Boards, IM clients, sites with nasty scripting, & (ect)? Take a look around you. There have been plenty of worms that spread with exploits. What makes them so successfull is users who think that if they stay away from attachments and URLs then they'll be safe from almost anything so its ok for them to skip patches & updates... or enable some really crapy configurations.
