Silent Viruses update

[Julian Field]

I have considered this before. So few new viruses use real sender addresses
that the whole exercise really isn't worth the bother. I would just waste
someone's time looking up every different name for every new virus that
appeared.
Far easier to put "All-Viruses" in there and forget about it.
