Actually, it probably just distributes itself to a bunch of other 
people.  And it presumably installs a limited backdoor on the system that 
someone can use for DDoS or untraceable hacking.  Seems like most of the 
nasty things viruses do to infected machines these days are either because 
they are poorly-written and crash, or are the result of trying to make them 
difficult to remove.

Doing a Google search with the text of the associated message often can 
identify what it is--though sometimes those are randomly generated from 
files on the local hard drive.
