This matches the data my employer (we make security software) is seeing--currently just over 10% of all infected mail we're tracking contains a copy of this worm, and it sems the author(s) are not taking a break. On Friday, October 20th, we added detection for at least 167 new variants of this particular worm, and I'm sure other security copmanies are doing the same. In addition to replicating, some versions the worm specifically target several anti-virus programs by disabling their services and use stealth (rootkit) like technologies to hide portions of themselves from being detected while the worm is resident in memory. It is a good idea to update your anti-virus software (and verify the updates were installed correctly) or run an online scan from one of the anti-virus vendors' web sites which offer them. Also, anti-rootkit programs can be used to check for the presence of the worm as well. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky Hello,
