For five days now I have been receiving mails containing a virus called  
I-Worm.Swen

http://www.viruslist.com/eng/viruslist.html?id=88029

The mails come from diffrent ISPs allover the world so I figured that  
the virus probably got my mailadress as a result of a mailinglist.

The only list I am currently active on is this. While hard to believe  
the most logical conclusion is that some gentoo-dev subscribers has  
been infected.

The virus disables antivirus programs, and deletes all current and  
future traces of it self from the victims mailbox (it actually connects  
to the pop3 server to do this).

Most of you probably has spamfilters that would hide this mail from  
you, but shurley if it comes from gentoo-dev more people then I would  
get these mails.
