It also can infects .HTML .ASPX .HTM .PHP .JSP .ASP and .EXE files, and inserts the malicious links which contained Windows Animated Cursor Handling zero-day vulnerability into .HTML .ASPX .HTM .PHP .JSP .ASP files. It also can send out Chinese spams which are include the same zero-day vulnerability link.

And the author is updating the variants now. We have received different sizes and MD5 hashes. The worm can be downloaded from the following domains, we suggest all users should block now.
