Do you know if this one has any other characteristics to watch for? We caught a dramatic increase in port 135 scans originating from the RESNET this morning. Before today, all was quiet, so I'm wondering if there might be a connection.

There is a snort rule for it. If you notice traffic going to 81.91.66.220, you probably have infected hosts. There are several strains going around as we have had to update McAfee 3 times.
