    Does this virus attack explorer.exe? I found this on my server, ran the
    MS patch, nav scans and now everytime explorer.exe launches it crashes
    immediately. Also have 2 instances of firedaemon.exe running but NAV
    doesn't detect any viruses.

    According to Symantec this is the long-awaited RPC exploiting worm.

    The code resides in c:\winnt\system32.

    It somehow change my registry and pretend to be Window autoupdate in

    \Localsystem\software\microsoft\window\run, so it can run when I boot
    the

    machine. Now it sending out packet to random(?)IP 's endpoint port
