The virus in question is (was?) Trojan.Win32.Rewt. A spam sending
trojan. But I don't expect we'll see many more of those - it's *very*
illegal to write a trojan - the feds *will* lock you up for it.
Especially in these times of heightened security everywhere. I'd be
very surprised if spammers went to these lengths.
On the contrary -- I reckon there'll be *more* if open relays and
proxies decrease. A lot of spammers do not care about the legality of
how the spam gets from them to their recipients. In a good few
jurisdictions, it's already illegal anyway!
