You're not alone, I get about 10 Sven viruses a day. I don't know whether it
comes from the mailing list or from somewhere else. IMO, unsubscribing won't
change a thing. I have seen recent reports that the virus was being spread a
lot last week. As I work on OSX, I don't really care but that's still a lot
of traffic as the attachment is about 150Kb. Now, I just reject every mail
that holds a Microsoft executable (com, bat, exe, pif, etc).
