Is this a new worm?  It seems different in size from previous Windoze
crap.

<rant mode="angry">

Don't you think these "anti-virus" vendors could stop sending me emails
like this:

 "We have detected [Windoze worm which is well-known to fake the From:
  header] in an email you sent to [email address I have never heard of]"

It really is just plain stupid.  If you know what the worm is, then
you know it fakes the From header, so don't send a bounce.
