MUTEXES is an MFC sample that demonstrates the use of the CMutex synchronization object. MUTEXES is a dialog-based application that creates two CWinThread objects and uses them to perform a simple task under the user's control.
Here is a link in case you need a better understanding.

Sound clear now ;):
The Korgo Worm
The Korgo worm (also known as Worm.Win32.Padobot.b or Exploit-Lsass.gen) infects Windows systems such as Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP. It exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in Windows Local Security Authority System Services (lsass.exe), as described in Microsoft Security Bulletin 04-011. Various mutants of the Korgo worm have been identified. Although each version is somewhat different from the others, similarities between different versions exist in that they:
Create a mutex that allows only one version of Korgo to run an any time.
Under certain conditions copy themselves into the system folder (%systemroot%) on each system they infect. The executable has a randomly-determined name.
Insert a value into the Registry to guarantee that this worm will start every time the infected system boots.
Attempt to connect to certain IRC chat servers such as K01irc.kar.net, gaspode.zanet.org.za, lia.zanet.net, irc.tsk.ru, london.uk.eu.undernet.org, washington.dc.us.undernet.org, los-angeles.ca.us.undernet.org, brussels.be.eu.undernet.org, caen.fr.eu.undernet.org, flanders.be.eu.undernet.org, graz.at.eu.undernet.org, moscow-advocat.ru, and gaz-prom.ru.
Open ports that allow back door access to the infected system.
The fact that Korgo can capture keystrokes on machines that it infects increases the threat that it poses considerably. Individuals who use an Korgo-infected system could expose personal data such as social security numbers and mothers' maiden names and also credit card numbers and other financial information.
And one good article about the protection/removal:
