My version was caught by the security department of Rogers Cable, my
broadband provider, who sent me a warning message that they had
intercepted a worm called
W32/Bugbear@MM. The actual message that was sent purportedly came from Richard, but
that is apparently just a name picked from a pilfered list of addresses.
. It was labelled as follows:

Apparently, between the folks at Rogers, Norton et al I didn't receive
anything. However, having had my computer wiped twice during the past
two years, and knowing how much grief is associated with trying to get
back up again, I would happily de-nut the little scripter or
acne-machine that thinks this is funny.
