Sounds nasty, although <a href="http://www.symantec.com/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2007-121718-1009-99&tabid=1" rel="nofollow">Symantec</a> seems to think that the Trojan has so far infected less than 50 computers and can be contracted from two or fewer websites. Best defense: update your antivirus and adware removal programs, and change your passwords if you think you've been infected (after removing the infection, of course).
