bestfriends.scr/*Bot

[Mark Wilson <wilsodm () AUBURN EDU>]

Be on the lookout for this one as we continue to see this.  There is a
bleeding edge snort rule for bestfriends.scr.

If you notice traffic going to 209.152.177.208, you probably have
infected hosts on your network.

This malware spreads via AIM (embedded URL in away message) and drops
AgoBot/GoaBot/*Bot on the victim's host. There are several strains going
around.
