Nope. As I just found out it was a VERY new virus and the signatures
were updated last hour. The virus could not be spotted at delivery time
but can be now... I just read NetSky.A (missing the B) and was confused
since I then figured that NetSky.A should be detected of course... :-)

Rats. I had a look at the quarantine and was sure this was "fixed" since
I see a lot of Spam AND Virus entries. Talking a closer look all of them
were Spam and not High-Scoring Spam. Suddenly all makes sense. Julian:
Forget my mail. Ugo: Thanks for the reminder.
