Havent heard of that one, but I have heard of 'bugbear'.

We have had a few ADSL users on LANs calling asking why their printers are
trying to print this 'network document'.

Bugbear tries to spread by sending itself to network shares... and obviously
it doesnt differentiate between network devices..

Just a heads up anyway... be warned.. it deletes NAV, Sophos, macaffee,
my-etrust *.exe's

thanks
