I read about that earlier today. Some additional info can also be found here.

Its is simply amazing (in a bad way of course) the level of technology that these virus writers are comming up with now.

There have even been test cases of a virus spreading across a bluetooth network to infect new mobile phones.

Honestly, right before this thread started I got a message on our PC at work saying -

"Virus
Trojan Horse BackDoor.Agent.2.H
is found in file...
please run AGV for Windows"

I ran AGV and that window keeps popping up. WTF!

Virus, Trojan and Worm designers are the lowest of the low. I hope they go to hell and they die.
P.S.
If anyone is worried about this stuff, it's better to stop then to cure, so I reccomend installing a firewall. Sygate is a good free one.
