Subject: Web counter in the new Swen/Gibe.F worm

Hey,

I believe I have a sample...I am still studying it. I
don't know if it's fine if I mail it to the list. Mail
me if you need a copy(I'm online for only about 30min
more).

Upon initial glance, I find the "internals" a bit
strange. Maybe I am wrong.
