Yesterday morning I sent a file (name: SCRSVR.EXE) into various anti 
virus labs and asked them to confirm my suspicion that it was a new open
share worm. Since this morning my suspicion is confirmed. I think that
it is related with the reports of "unusually high volumes of 
UDP:137 probes". It's the same malicious program Mark Forsyth has 
already mentioned.

Here's more info about that open share worm:
