Power Worm - Not your garden variety - This one uses Windows PowerShell.
Everyday is exciting in the security world
According to the article:-
This particular threat arrives as an infected Word or Excel document, which may be dropped by other malware or downloaded/accessed by users. When opened, right away it downloads two additional components from two well-known online anonymity projects: the Tor network, and Polipo, a personal web cache/proxy.
Using the installed Tor and Polipo software, it accesses its command-and-control server. The URL it uses contains two GUIDs, as seen below:
{C&C server}/get.php?s=setup&mom={GUID #1}&uid={GUID #2}
