This virus when activated on someones computer will propigate itself by raiding that persons address book and sending itself to those addresses, as a little twist it also uses those address's (or variations of them) in the sender field. I've been getting lots of mail from variations of the warbirdsresourcegroup.org address. Luckily my ISP has got off its buttocks and started to filter these out, only got 100 bogus e-mails today.
