McAfee VirusScan 7.1 with 4364 DAT detects it as W32/Sdbot.worm.gen.g. 
Other than that, they have no information besides that they first 
noticed it on 5/26/2004.

It may spread through lsass, but this type of worm is usually limited to 
spreading through network shares with weak password protection.
