The way this is talked about, this is different from the Zobot worm just recently discovered, as evidenced by this passage:
What was causing the damage was unclear, although experts pointed to a new worm called worm-rbot.cbq.
David Perry of Trend Micro, an Internet monitoring firm, said the latest worm may have been derived from the Zotob worm, which was first reported over the weekend.
Watch your machines! Patch them as soon as the patches come out!

From other articles, I have seen, this happens when a laptop is brought within the firewall. It supposedly affects early XP systems (IMHO probably not security updated) and Win 2K systems.

don't worry! Windows has fewer security flaws than Linux! Steve Balmer said so! Besides, didn't Bill say just a couple of years ago that secure software was going to be the most important emphasis at M$? whoops -- my bad, he was actually talking about DRM
