Even if you got the worm it would be stopped by ZoneAlarm, or any competent firewall. It could try to attack SCO, but it wouldn't be allowed access to the internet.

Wow, that's some change to ZoneAlarm; I'm highly impressed. I didn't know that it scanned incoming and outgoing e-mails.

I own a few domains, so I'm getting pounded by this sucker - it chooses 'common' first names and then a random domain out of the addressbook, and it mails out to spread. The second form of spreading is that when it sends itself out, it chooses a random common first name and another domain to be the sender. Smart little trick there - if the server bounces the e-mail because that user doesn't exist, it gets a second chance to attack someone.

Right now, they're flying by the hundreds; hopefully the larger ISPs will nail down their side of it so that us little guys won't get knocked into the stone age.
