Here is the information on the newest nasty out there. This is a HIGH RISK virus. It is called W32/IRCbot.worm!MS05-039. This worm is designed to contact a remote IRC server and wait for further instructions.
A fast-spreading Internet Relay Chat (IRC) bot worm affecting systems worldwide, W32/IRCbot.worm!MS05-039 exploits a recently announced Microsoft operating system vulnerability to spread and possibly help a remote hacker control an infected system.
You can be infected simply by going online. Once infected, your system may continually reboot.
The virus copies itself to the Windows System directory (e.g. C:\Windows\System32\ on Windows XP) as WINTBP.EXE.
The file can be run automatically by exploiting the MS05-039 vulnerability or by a user directly executing the worm.
McAfee has a free tool to scan for this virus.
