[ATM] New virus - be prepared (semi-OT)

[dcn at dcnicholls.com (David Nicholls)]

Normally OT, but we had a lot of trouble with a virus on this list a week or
so ago, so I thought I'd mention it here.

The new virus goes by several names:  
WORM_MIMAIL.R, W32/Mydoom@MM, Mydoom, Win32.Mydoom.A, W32.Novarg.A@mm

The mail message is a little over 31K long, with variable subject line,
message content and attachment name.  It can also show up as a "bounced"
message.  It appeared yesterday and is spreading very fast.  (I've seen at
least ten this morning)

Please update your virus signatures ASAP or we'll have more problems.

DN
