Interesting. None of our machines so far that have been infected are trying to contact sco.com on port 80. I'm curious if there are multiple varients?? We have identified this virus as the MyDoom/Novarg, and Symantec did confirm our submission as such.

We've had several machines infected now, and I've created a quick signature:Although Mimail.Q did also come out today, what you're describing is Mydoom/Novarg, which is spreading more rapidly than Mimail from the looks of it. Details from the AV companies are sketchy at this point, but, aside from spreading via SMTP and KaZaA, the copy I looked at appears to start up 63 threads all requesting the index page of www.sco.com every 300 milliseconds. -Joe -- Joe Stewart, GCIH Senior Security Researcher LURHQ http://www.lurhq.com/
