Hi,
we've experienced this worm too, and disinfected it as a new variant of
Agobot (Gaobot). Basically it exploits poorly protected windows shared,
RCP Dcom bug in windows etc. (most of the people infected had admin/admin
login/passwords on their computers with default C$ share. Combine this
with heavily unpatched system and Agobot can pick an attack vector
according to it's current mood :-)

By the way, it also acts as an IRC backdoor, which makes infected
computers zombies.

Should be detected and disinfected by major antiviruses by now.
Avast4 worked well for us.

Have a nice day,

Sound familiar to anyone?


Have not seen the particular virus/worm, but have seen scans from single 
IPs of ports 6129, 2745, 135, 445, 1025, 3127 in sequence.

6129 is default port for dameware remote control agent:
http://isc.sans.org/port_details.php?port=6129

3127 is used by MyDoom, Novarg and variants
http://isc.sans.org/port_details.php?isc=4359007a189bdac49792ce2e8ac2f7f0&port=3127&repax=1&tarax=2&srcax=2&percent=N&days=40

I'd start with these. But it could, as always, be yet another variant. 
Lucky you.
