There's a detection script available, which I've installed and run.
As to security, well. the worm emails my passwords to china, so I'm not too
worried about it at the moment. I'm going to repair it if I can, then
change the passwords, re-install the good stuff, and hope that holds it.

I'd use SSH if I could, but something's preventing it at the moment.
