Nothing really new with this thing. However, some precautions that should be taken:
1. Make sure all machines have the latest anti-virus data files. These files should be dated 8/11/03 or newer. Physically make sure these files are installed. It would be prudent to do a full scan of each machine once you have verified the latest data files are installed. This does not fix the underlying problem, it only detects these versions of this exploit.
2. If a workstation shuts down by itself with or without an error message, disconnect the workstation from your network immediately. The machine needs to be determined to be clean before reinstalling on the network. This one machine if infected, will infect other workstations almost immediately if left running on the network.
3. Get the Windows Patches installed!
