Just to say that there is another virus out there which is detailed here on
Trendmicro.com
http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=BKDR_WOMANIZ.C&VSect=T
which tries to propogate and then access the Admin$ account by trying
multiple name and weak password combinations.

A spate of these, toghether with the existence of some of the account names
used would help identify if it is this virus.
