W32/Sunk-A is a worm for the Windows platform.

The worm will display the following fake error message:
"An unexpected error has occurred on the execution of this file"

W32/Sunk-A will attempt to replace every file on the infected computer that has the extension EXE with a copy of itself. The worm will also copy itself to folders known to be used by popular Peer-To-Peer programs using various names.

Complete information at Sophos

The only easy day was yesterday.

Warning! Take extreme caution!

This is still being studied and researched. No real fix as of yet.
The only way to deal with it so far, is to backup data then re-format/ re-install.
