Thanks Chris. I got a similar alert on IRC about the same time.
Checked my firewall logs and they were filled. Traced it back to the
laptop I brought home from work. McAfee's chewing on it right now but
if the 7/23 defs don't catch it, I may have to let it back on the
network to update. According to
http://isc.sans.org/diary.html?date=2003-08-11 some virus defs might
already be prepared to catch it.

I go months, if not more, between run-ins with viruses/worms/etc. Two
of them today.
