It's official called W32.Prolin.Worm and it was just discovered Nov. 30th!:Q

Hit the above link and read up on it!!! We saw it at work today and it's more nuisance then damager. Our AV DATs didn't have the def for it yet, but if you search for CREATIVE.EXE and delete it, that'll take care of the worst part, though it can do a LOT of damage if you have a lot of JPEGs. (Ahem...)
