Subject: W32.novarg.a - Highly distributed mass mailer

Apologies if this is off topic, but I thought it merited posting, given the
distribution.

Norton has also tagged the same worm referenced in the previous posting from
McAfee, but they're calling it Novarg.  No details yet.    We've seen a
variety of file names and subject headers, although "Hi", "Hello" seem to be
the most popular so far.  "Text" "File" and "Message" seem to be popular
file names.  We are seeing ~25/hr @ the gateway, and rising.

Details here:
