Well ... to be honest, I was generalising wildly. I can't be sure that they're trawling for addresses in ALL newsgroups - might be just Microsoft Windows support ones, might be just the one I happened to post in a day or two before I started getting copies of that virus. Don't think so, though. I think it's very widespread. But I also think it's just newsgroups that they're trawling, because I'm not getting copies of the virus in any account except the one I've used for newsgroup postings.

Any newsgroup posting will get you on the distribution list for 50-200 copies of Swen aka Gibe per day at the moment, it seems. They weigh in at 144 or 156K and claim to be from Microsoft or something similarly genuine-looking. Are those the ones you're getting?
