Someone at work today got a virus sent to his email, and now it's started to f**k up the fileserver. Problem is, I don't know what it is!

Symptoms are taking up all the infected computers resources. It won't let me look at the task list or run regedit. I deleted most of the icons on his desktop, and seems to have an affinity for messing up .mdb, .doc, and .xls files on the file server.

Anyone know what this is??

The worm makes copies of itself as .zip archives or .exe in different directories on local and mapped drives. The filenames are random alphabetical names and are 34 Kbytes in size.

The worm searches local and mapped drives to delete files with the following extensions: [bmp, avi, jpg, sav, xls, doc, mdb]

Lolol. I ran that app on all the network drives, specifically the mail server, and found 7 different viruses that thing scans for.

It sure is a nasty one. The person on the network who got it first happened to be the President of the company. And everyone will open anything from him! Sheesh. The fileservers not a big deal because it was backed up last night, but everything with those extensions that was on local drives is *poof*- gone. I've tried undelete programs, but it looks like it corrupted the files before it deleted them.

There's a worm that is pretty identical to this one called <W32.Netsky.B@MM > that's running around too... hit my company's network as well.
