Sounds like you probably got hit with a custom packed/encrypted version
of sdbot. Most likely vector of attack was the newish IE <object> tag
exploit.

Subject: [Full-Disclosure] Backdoor.Sdbot.N Question
Anyone know how Backdoor.Sdbot.N spreads? This morning we had
several users pop up with this trojan (or a new variant). These users
generated a ton of traffic until their machines were unplugged from the
network. There systems have all the markers for the Backdoor.Sdbot.N
trojan (registry entries, etc), but was not picked up by the Norton
virus scan. In fact, even it you perform a manual scan after the trojan
was discovered, it is still not detected in the scan.
I would also like to know if this is also an indicator of not
having the patch for the Blaster worm.
