I'm curious too -- I hadn't heard anything about it until seeing this post, but it'd be nice to know what to look for if/when it hits my company's network.

I'd like to know what it's called, and what are the warning signs or how to know you're infected.

And why isn't this stickied yet???

I wish we could chop off the fingers of these losers who keep releasing this stuff. I am sick to death of it. Of course there are a lot of very successful companies whose very livlihood depends on this sh!t to continue indefinitely.

Where do you think they come from?

And the vast majority of people use IE. So this is very important.

True... but then a better post to sticky would be "Will everyone stop using IE and use Firefox until further notice"

I got hit with it, and NAV found it in a systemwide scan. It comes in and infects temporary internet files, posing as gifs and jpegs.
Norton does not catch it on the way in. It identifies it as "trojan horse", a very generic reference at best.
I t has infected many mainstream sites, as far as I could tell by looking at the titles of the images.
 
There are two things you can do:

If you run an IIS 5.0 server, make sure you have MS04-011 installed. (And that you've rebooted since you installed it.) Make sure the 'enable document footer' isn't unexpectedly checked on any of your websites.

If you run IE, you can tighten the security in the local computer zone.
 
The only problem with tightening security, Noggin, is that you have to disable JavaScript to plug the hole. These forums, in turn, are a casualty of disabling JavaScript.🙁
