VIRUS (Worm.SCO.A) IN YOUR MAIL (fwd)



http://www.f-secure.com/v-descs/novarg.shtml

It appears that the latest worm will autosend e-mails.  It's possible that 
the recipient may vary as well (Other worms have done that).  It also can 
autosend e-mail with a subject line of "Mail Transaction Failed" or "Mail 
Delivery System".  Lovely.
