FYI, all the major AV companies seem to have new definitions to catch this
virus (which just came out this morning).

If you are using Declude for your virus scanning, you can use the BANEXT
option to prevent .com files from being sent (which will catch .com files,
such as "someprog.com", but doesn't get false positives such as
"www.yahoo.com.lnk").
