Potential new malware discovered.

At my company today we found what appears to be a zero day virus. The virus
file appears as shupd64.exe. When executed the file does the following.

1. Moves itself to \windows\system32. 

2. Adds registry entries to local machine and current user hives of the
registry in the Run, Runonce, RunServices keys. 

3. Opens network connections on: 
TCP ports 1037 and 10404
UDP ports 1026 and 1900

4. Tries to propagate via TCP 445.

This appears to be a variation of Zotob or new malware using the same
vulnerability as Zotob to enter. As of this writing, it has been reported to
the virus vendors, but no signature updates yet.
