I'm suddenly getting 3-4x the "M$ patch" and "bounced mail" virus attacks as compared to 2-3 days ago. Is this perhaps a result of VeriSlime's actions?

I have noticed suddenly my virus filter catching more of those exact same messages here in the last 24 hours. David Lesher wrote:

It's called Swen-A, but some anti-virus vendors seem to place it in the Gibe class as well. <http://us.mcafee.com/virusInfo/default.asp?id=description&virus_k=100662> <http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100662.htm> <http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.swen.a@mm.html> <http://www.trendmicro.com/vinfo/virusencyclo/default5.asp?VName=WORM_SWEN.

This virus seems to depart from the standard "Click on mine patches pleases" type text. Instead, it has quite an elaborate message complete with in line graphics etc to make it look legit. I imagine quite a few people are being fooled into clicking on it :-( http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_100662.htm has a screen shot. ---Mike
