This is a virus that apparently even McCaffe hasn't heard of yet. I don't know what it is, but my harddrive is dead. I might be able to recover it, I might not.. but as of this very moment I'm very fucked.
If it has to do with the MS RPC exploit that was released around July 16 then I doubt a virus program would have picked that up.

Did you have a Firewall running?
Did you run Windows Update since July 16th?

I am sorry it happened to you though

For anyone else that is concerned...

Run Windows Update http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Install a Firewall

If you work on the internet you need to take security seriously.
