I've seen a graph of this on another mail server: Sober actually morphed around January 4-6 and changed patterns. It's still not clear exactly what all has been going on, but one consistent pattern is ceasing propagation (at least temporarily).

"This variant is programmed to activate on January 6th, 2006. After this
date all the infected machines will regularily try to download and run a
file from a website, forever."

Yep... I upgraded to FProt 3.16e and noticed the slowdown. I thought it was a problem with that version, so I upgraded to the 3.16f which was released today. Still no Sober viruses caught.

I'm still wondering if I should go back to 3.16d. Anyone seeing Sober caught with these last 2 updates of F-Prot??
