Shruggle Computer Virus

Also known as W64.Shruggle

It seems that it is an experiment to test the concept of a 64-bit infecter and is not actively spread.  While the digital pest is little threat, it does indicate that virus writers are thinking ahead. Such "proof of concept" programs tend to be aimed at identifying vulnerabilities, not exploiting them.
