yesterday, and over 900 today!!!  All have a readme.zip file, and I'm on=20

Apparently this new virus (Novarg, I believe?) was discovered yesterday,=20
speads itself via email, and will allegedly record keystrokes.  Most=20

nst=20
www.sco.com .  I'm still looking into the specific details, but slashdot =

some info.
