This virus is called Papa (or Pappa) and is a little more agressive. It
sends itself to the 60 first entries in your adresbook. While Melissa only
does this once, Papa will do this everytime a document containing the code
is activated.

I don't have further details (sorry), except this one started in
'alt.bondage'
