Have you patched your Windows systems against the RPC vulnerability reported in October? There have been attacks, but Symantec is reporting a new worm based on this attack.
They call it W32.Downadup.B and rate it a level 2 or "Low" threat. Microsoft's description of the worm includes a list of the names used by other AV vendors.
