Trojan attacking our switches

Search of CVE and securityfocus and googling did not turn up adequate information. Anyone seen this beast?

Our campus network has a couple of thousand hosts, and 93 switches.

Telnetting into our HP Procurve 2524 switch shows an ongoing attempt to brute-force the SNMP community (public, of course). HP apparently does not provide a method for disbling SNMP, and we're going to have to visit all 93 switches in person to set a strong password -- yes, it had been left blank!

PCdoorguard 3 virus scanner identified a virus, "f*ck door server", but provides little useful information other than pointing to \windows\system\setdefed.exe which is 24,576 bytes.

Thanks,
Charles Polisher
