   I just happened to notice on the McAfee site that there appear to be
a couple new variants of the LovSan worm called teekids.exe and
penis32.exe (I assume these refer to the files TFTPed to the
.../system32 directory).  See

Symantec pages are at:  (They call these Blaster.B and Blaster.C)
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.b.worm.html
   and
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.blaster.c.worm.html

   Of course, if all machines were patched...  ;-)
