Just an FYI...
If you haven't seen it already, both the Badtrans and Goner worm are hitting people pretty hard. The goner especialy.
The goner worm sends out itself via email w/ the subject of "Hi" and a attachment of goner.scr (windows screensaver). The Badtrans worm exploits a bug in Outlook so it may autolaunch on it's own...
This one in particular likes to disable software firewalls and AV software (NAV, Zonealarm, etc). Anyone running/using Outlook may want to make sure they have the most current DAT files for your AV, or contact your tech guys if your at work.
This worm can also transverse ICQ and IRC. It is also multiplatformed. DOS attacks can also occur if it manages to disable your firewall.
manual removal of the execution program is under HKLM\Sofware\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run and kill the goner.src key (In safe mode).
Just a friendly FYI
