For five days now I have been receiving mails containing a virus called |
| 2 |
I-Worm.Swen |

The mails come from diffrent ISPs allover the world so I figured that |
| 7 |
the virus probably got my mailadress as a result of a mailinglist. |

The only list I am currently active on is this. While hard to believe |
| 10 |
the most logical conclusion is that some gentoo-dev subscribers has |
| 11 |
been infected. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
The virus disables antivirus programs, and deletes all current and |
| 14 |
future traces of it self from the victims mailbox (it actually connects |
| 15 |
to the pop3 server to do this). |

Most of you probably has spamfilters that would hide this mail from |
| 18 |
you, but shurley if it comes from gentoo-dev more people then I would |
| 19 |
get these mails. |
