The blue screen of death is success?
Well it is ... it means another system won't be sending me a "Wicked screensaver" or a notice about a movie I should see.
Hrmmm ... I wonder if I could configure my firewall so that if I notice an incoming SoBig email I'll nmap their IP address and see if I can send them a winpopup message that says "Patch your machine, dork"

APparently not, because this AM's reports on the virus indicated that it ALSO masks the sender address.
Interestingly, I got a virus from what appeared to be a Microsoft email to me--about 60 days ago. The virus was not at that time defined by Norton--but it was about 3 days later. The message was 'Response to your Question.'
Didn't cause any problems for me, except the box got a little slower--just a little--and on my regular Norton update day, after the download and scan, it told me I had a virus.
Cleaned up, no problem since. I think.
