What's the latest big one? I think we've been lucky so far this year...last one to hit us very hard was the very first version of Nachi / Welchia.

It's not just one virus, it's a whole host of malware:
- The HuntBar IE toolbar (also called WinTools, does not require network connection).
- One of the Korgo variants, likely Korgo.C
- The Newgina password capture utility.
- Certain later NetSky variants.
The most obvious symptom is a system crash at login with a Stop 0xC000021A or STATUS_SYSTEM_PROCESS_TERMINATED blue-screen-o'-death. You can also get an empty dialog box at login, and it takes 5minutes or more to get past it by clicking OK.
It's pretty durn nasty.
