Anyone been hit by this pain in the ass?

It's a worm that was written by somebody who apparently knew coding and windows and all that enough to exploit a serious flaw in XP and 2000 security, but not well enough to do anything besides log people off the net or spread beyond a couple hundred thousand computers (no small accomplishment, but it's no "I love you" or "Code Red")

I got smacked by it last night, was up until 2 AM fixing the protection settings on my computer and downloading windows updates. Argh.
