    Me too.  Started at 16:30PM EDT and quickly popped-up on over 50 computers.  Found in a variety of locations on m y desktop computer:

    C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Update\GoogleUpdate.exe

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\Web Intelligence\swi_update_64.exe

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\swlocale.dll

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\AUAdapter.dll

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Sophos\AutoUpdate\ALsvc.exe

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla\FireFox\updater.exe

    And another 25 files (too many to list) and still scanning!

    What's up with this?
