Nick,

What makes you think that I did not submit it?  Maybe you should ask if
I did without assuming I did not. For the record this was submitted
BEFORE I started my analysis and Trend has identified it as RBOT.GL.
http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_RBO
T.GL
&VSect=T

I was just trying to give a heads up to anyone listening.

Instead of just guessing and messing around with this by yourself, had
you considered sending it to major antivirus developers so they can get
detection of it out (if, in fact, it is widely unknown)??

To save you looking them up, here are the sample submission addresses of
the better-known AV developers.  I'd suggest that you send the suspect
file(s) to several of these you consider trustworthy...

   Authentium (Command Antivirus)  <virus () authentium com>
   Computer Associates (US)        <virus () ca com>
   Computer Associates (Vet/EZ)    <support () vet com au>
   DialogueScience (Dr. Web)       <Antivir () dials ru>
   Eset (NOD32)                    <sample () nod32 com>
   F-Secure Corp.                  <samples () f-secure com>
   Frisk Software (F-PROT)         <viruslab () f-prot com>
   Grisoft (AVG)                   <virus () grisoft cz>
   H+BEDV (AntiVir, Vexira engine) <virus () antivir de>
   Kaspersky Labs                  <newvirus () kaspersky com>
   Network Associates (McAfee)     <virus_research () nai com>
     (use a ZIP file with the password 'infected' without the quotes)
   Norman (NVC)                    <analysis () norman no>
   Panda Software                  <labs () pandasoftware com>
   Sophos Plc.                     <support () sophos com>
   Symantec (Norton)               <avsubmit () symantec com>
   Trend Micro (PC-cillin)         <virus_doctor () trendmicro com>
     (Trend may only accept files from users of its products)
