The virus/worm the user is mentioning is known as W32.Novarg.A (Symantec),
W32.MyDoom.A (McAfee/Sophos/CA), or W32.MiMail.R (Trend). All antivirus
vendors have released definitions that can detect and quarantine this
bugger. Please take the necessary steps to ensure your antivirus product is
updated with the latest signatures.
