Probably this one, Symantec (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.maldal.c@mm.html) says was discovered in Dec 2001.aer is only one of its names.

Several things turn up if you Search (http://search.symantec.com/custom/us/query.html) the Symantec site, but this one is the most common. If the link doesn't work go to the main Searc Page (http://www.symantec.com/search/) and type in ZaCKer.
