Holy shit. I've been struggling with this bitch for a few days now, and I've finally defeated it. Apparently, I'm one of the first to get it, at roughly august seventh. Yay.
Shorty afterwards, Symantec releases a free tool. Meh.
If you run a Windows NT based OS, run windows update. cause this one is a bitch to get rid of unless you do it manually. Once you connect to the internet, it listens on port 4444. Usually, this is a command to shut down your system. Also, it's sending out signals to crash other people's computers as well, using ports 135 and 1039 and up. Thus, you have about one minute and fifteen seconds to download a fix or a removal tool.
RUN WINDOWS UPDATE. NOW. IF YOU ARE CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET, YOU CAN GET THIS VIRUS. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
*EDIT* It seems that I was one of the biggest spreaders of this virus. Sorry about that.
