Few other computers on corporate LAN claim to receive ping from mine. Would that be a sign of infection? or does windows send pings 'by itself'?
BTW, the virus name is W32.Downadup.B
Assuming you are in the same VLAN (if you even use VLANS) you probably should be able to ping other machines in your LAN subnet. Make sure you try to ping by ip and not name as glancing at the write-up it does some funky stuff to DNS.
