A great place to look for information on virii are the websites of the
antivirus software companies. I usually start with Symantec's Antivirus
Research Center at www.sarc.com. They will also accept submissions of
suspected virii for analysis.
That particular one you describe looks like it could be Netsky.T or a
variant thereof. Take a look at the following for a detailed
description:
http://www.sarc.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.netsky.t AT mm.html
Keep in mind that many of these virii use spoofed addresses in the
'from' field, so the person it appears to be coming from likely is not
who it actually is coming from.
HTH,
Bill

Where would I look for references to virii? Or where would I forward a
virus for analysis, if there is such a group or groups?
Anyone heard of anything springing up in the past few days? I'm
starting to get spammed by mail from people I know and don't know with
subject lines like "Re: your text" or "Re: That document", all with a
29k .pif attachment.
At the least, I'll have to let my mother know that, yet again, her
computer is infected....
thanks,
Alan
