cuebot-d infection method

Subject: cuebot-d infection method
Date: Wed, 24 Aug 2005 09:03:03 -0700 (PDT)
I've seen a couple cuebot-d infections over the last couple days and am
trying to track down the source of them. Has anyone seen enough of this
to know the universe of ways the pc gets initially infected?

The pcs that have gotten infected have mcafee running on them  which
incorrectly picks it up as W32/Sdbot.worm.gen.by when a scan is
requested. It didn't seem to pick it up *until* a scan was requested.

The writeup at http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/analyses/w32cuebotd.html
fits the scenario, but it doesn't say exactly what the initial
infection vector is.

Thanks for any help.
