> Perhaps it's because I have a domain that's often spoofed, but I can't

> I certainly hope the authorities are pursuing SoBig with equal vigor.

> "Security researchers believe that the creator of the Sobig mass-mailing 
> computer virus won't stop with Sobig.F--the money may be too good. The 
> Sobig viruses, the first of which started spreading in January, are 
> designed to load special software that can make spam anonymous on people's 
> PCs. The tens of thousands of computers infected by the virus can then be 
> used by bulk e-mailers to send unsolicited messages that can't be tracked."
