It would be nice if the antivirus vendors would include some standardised
string in the names of viruses/worms which forge the sender's address, so we
could pick that out without caring what the name of the actual virus is.

However, it would be nice if the antivirus vendors would all use the same
name for the same virus, so I guess I'll just have to keep on wishing.... :)
