Late Friday, we found the same things. McAfee declared it to be W32/Sdbot.worm.gen.j. The file date/time stamp was Friday at 10:45 AM. The Network Engineer noticed the 139 probes start at 11:00. The executable was in the %SYSTEM32% folder named something like f1r3fox.exe.

We caught a dramatic increase in port 135 scans originating from the RESNET this morning. Before today, all was quiet, so I'm wondering if there might be a connection.

There is a snort rule for it. If you notice traffic going to 81.91.66.220, you probably have infected hosts. There are several strains going around as we have had to update McAfee 3 times.
