As far as I know, if you are firewalled correctly and have your 445 tcp port
shut to the outside - this thing should NOT be able to get in. 
Am I wrong?

Hi List,
Yesterday one of my customers was hit hard by what appears to be a variant
of zotob.
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.zotob.b.html

This one was very (noisy) crashing services.exe and forcing re-boots on
unpatched WIN2K machines. The boxes we've had a chance to look at were not
infected, but were unpatched. We hope to have samples today from the same
network and have a closer look.

It's time to get patching!

Regards
Mike
