  A virus (BAT/Deltree.trojan) was found.

  Scanner detecting a virus: FRISK F-Prot Antivirus/Linux
                                                        
  The mail originated from: <full-disclosure-admin@...ts.netsys.com>

  According to the 'Received:' trace, the message originated at:
    unknown (HELO snosoft.com) (dotslash@...208.147.246)
