I wouldn't go by such anecdotal evidence as shutdown/reboot times.  Check
your event viewer logs for RPC/DCOM errors, monitor your network traffic,
check for the suspicious files on the systems, scan for the ports opened by
the worm, etc....

Are they getting the windows shut down prompt? If so I would suggest
that they aren't patched against the RPC DCOM vul and are infected or
even if they aren't getting a prompt I think it's still
highly possible

Yes, it looks very much like the worm. However, someone here mentioned
that
it takes about 1 min. for windos to crash (can't they do even that right?
:)
).
What we are seing are very rapid reboots, at most 20 seconds.


I'll put it on the worm for now.
