RE: Worm.SCO.A

["Shawn Jackson" <sjackson () horizonusa com>]

Worm.SCO.A maps to Novarg (F-Secure), W32.Novarg.A@mm (Symantec),
W32/Mydoom.a@MM, Win32.Mydoom.A (CA), Win32/Shimg (CA), WORM_MIMAIL.R
(Trend). It is not a MIMAIL variant as Trend Micro suspected so AV DEF
looking for MIMAIL and the ilk will miss the virii. I haven't received
any Mydoom.B virii so I don't know what ClamAV will call that
(Worm.SCO.B or Worm.MICROSOFT.A, whatever).

Hi there,

I just wanted to let Shawn and others know that you are not alone, I too

have recieved several copies of this mail in the past 24 hours, and am 
beginning to wonder what it is.

Kindest of regards,
