Try www.sarc.com it is great for that type of thing. It is run by Symantec.

Subject: Searching For Virus Info

HI Everyone,
I've recently had to try and find a virus name by it's characteristics
and
was wondering if there is a service that does this.
The problem I have is that if I don't know or can't remember the virus
name
but know the characteristics and I try to search a virus by "for
instance"
the message body I can't find any info about it.

Is there a service I'm unaware of?

p.s No google doesn't seem to work, it either pulls up too much info
which
wastes too much time and often goes no where or nothing at all and I do
know
how to use it.

Thanks
Mike
