About typical for an ISP these days. I used to have one run
by a buncha Berkeley students, but it got so successful it
got bought by RCN, who promptly cancelled all non-business
accounts in the area. Even asked Comcast if they could open
up the mailboxes, since if I don't pull mail every few hours,
the inbox overflows. Hah. As soon as I can get good high speed
DSL am gonna go back to Covad and fire up the old Sparc and
do my own mail/newsfeeds.

That won't help either. The worm is not coming from any single
domain.
What helps is not running Outlook, as there is absolutely no way
you can prevent this worm, since Outlook calls Internet Explorer's
rendering engine and this worm uses invalid MIME types that
Microsoft admits will bypass any and all security checks.

Re: High Performance Headlight Conversions for Jeep.
You don't need a virus scan if you don't EVER open attachments that you are
not 100% about...
Viruses are usually self inflicted... "Gee, if I open this attachment from
someone I NEVER heard of I can make an extra $80,000 a year parttime... OK!"

On vulnerable versions, or incorrectly patched, upgraded, or
installed versions, all you need to do is "preview"
the email with that attachment if it contains an invalid MIME type
exploit. All it takes is an email that causes Outlook to call the
HTML or MIME rendering engine from Internet Explorer.
And just to make your day, if your virus software signatures are
from before Sep 18th, you just got infected with no action on your
part other than having received an email with a bad mime'd attach.
> Viruses are usually self inflicted... "Gee, if I open this attachment from
> someone I NEVER heard of I can make an extra $80,000 a year parttime... OK!"
You may or may not be vulnerable, depending on how you installed
your version of Outlook:Express 6.00.2720.3000
Installed correctly that version prompts you before running
mis-mime'd executables. If not installed correctly, it will run
W32.Swen.A
automatically.
From Technet.
"However, a flaw exists in the type of processing that is specified
for certain unusual MIME types. If an attacker created an HTML e-mail
containing an executable attachment, then modified the MIME header
information to specify that the attachment was one of the unusual MIME
types that IE handles incorrectly, IE would launch the attachment
automatically when it rendered the e-mail."
