We don't know where it came from at the moment.
proxy logs show it started connecting to scorpionsearch 
etc at 8:57 May 6th CST.

The binary has the sites hard-coded as unicode strings.  

Apart from netbuie.exe, there was nothing obvious in the
process table.

We've taken the box off-line and gathering information
at the moment.  We're also looking at our backups.

We've found at least one other file probably associated 
with it.  It's called NBSetup.exe.  

Company name in the Version information says: MiKrOsOFT.  
This was found in c:\windows\system (note the box is a 
Win2k Server, not Win95/8).  It was owned by the local 
administrators group (not domain admin)

I'm looking through the firewall logs at the moment.
There are some very odd entries there from this machine
but I'm not confident that they are related as yet.
 
ciao
