What it says is:

"Possible combined exploits of MS vulnerabilities"

"It has been a very quiet day, but we are hearing rumors of possible
'super' exploits that may target several of the vulnerabilities
announced by Microsoft on Tuesday. We've been contacted by an
individual who have have been infected such an exploit, but
investigation of this is still underway."


I'm not sure that "possible 'super' exploits" - plural - translates
literally into "super worm" - singular.

The only reason I bring this up is that within hours we'll probably be
seeing stories on news.google.com about "Experts say new Super Worm
threatens existence of Internet!"
