Another day, same virus
If someone properly is protected from earlier versions, they'll be protected from this one too. We should expect to see many variants of this particular trojan since it distributed its source code far and wide. Fortunately, this also makes it easier to detect and destroy before it gets to a click-happy marketing executive's laptop.

What does surprise me is the destructive payload. This is unusual since the new trend is to zombie-fy unsecured Windows computers for use in sending out spam, launching DDoS attacks, and other such schemes.
