New variant of the MSBLAST virus.
Odd that it pings before scanning. Didn't notice the 135 probes after the ping, because so many people have 135 blocked now, so only the odd one got through after the ping. I guess this makes it more dangerous, as malicious people will be able to see the pings, even if they can't see the 135 connection, and then they could connect in on port 707. Nice job with the automatic patching of the machine from various vulnerbilities... it probably does it without requiring a reboot :P Cheers, Tim.
