According to McAfee, this is W32/Gaobot.worm.ali. It is not a "blaster" 
type worm, as it does not spread completely autonomously. It infects a 
system, contacts an IRC server, and waits for instructions, one of which 
can be to search for and infect other vulnerable systems. The IRC server 
is offline at the moment.
