Would it be this one!
this bug is particularly bad.
read the excerpt from the email alert:
Websense® Security Labs ™ has received several reports of a new worm, "Nugache", which is spreading on AOL/MSN Instant Messenger networks and as an e-mail attachment by exploiting several workstation vulnerabilities. The worm opens a back door on TCP port 8, and installs a bot to wait for commands from the attacker. The command & control channel that is used is unique, as the bot appears to connect to infected peers instead of a static list. A peer-to-peer command & control channel makes it more difficult to block commands issued to the bot. The traffic over this channel also uses obfuscation in an attempt to bypass intrusion detection systems.

There are some emails and alerts like this that are scams too.
The idea goes, if you have "x" in your registary you have some nasty, please delete it and you will be ok.
In fact they have you deleting legit and important windows services. So just be careful!
(Note I am not suggesting that the OP was one of these)
