McAfee 7.1.0 with DAT 4364 (6/2/04) detects it as BackDoor-CCT.  This is 
not a worm, it's a trojan. Your systems are being remotely compromised, 
possibly with an auto-rooter targeting the lsass vulnerability, which 
instructs the compromised system to download, install, and run this 
trojan. This trojan includes a keystroke logger, and additional 
components that you seem to have missed. Assume that system and any web 
site passwords have been compromised. Warn the users of these systems 
that unless they change any financial site passwords they are likely to 
be victims of theft.

How are these system getting compromised? Why don't you have this patch 
deployed yet? Why are these systems reachable from the Internet over 
port 445?

You've got more problems than new worms.
