I wonder if Microsoft made this worm? :lol:

The worm attempts to download the DCOM RPC patch from Microsoft's Windows Update Web site, install it, and then reboot the computer.

The worm will also attempt to remove W32.Blaster.Worm.

The worm checks for active machines to infect by sending an ICMP echo, or PING, which will results in increased ICMP traffic.
