Hi -- Penn was working with Symantec yesterday to figure out what this worm
is that we've been seeing in one of our dorms on campus. Symantec has
identified two elements of it, and is adding them to their virus
definitions. (They have a special update available for download, and the
definitions should be incorporated in their next LiveUpdate.) However,
we're still not sure how it spreads -- but it looks like it does through the
network.
Penn released a Virus Alert with more information, and you can see it here:
