Yes, I got that one too.  To my peering alias by coincidence.  ClamAV
identifies it as "Worm.Bagle.A2".  ClamAV added it the database today,
and mentioned that it was not in most signature databases yet.

This one may be a variant of the recent worms.  It's spreading by way of
zipfile attachments.  I don't have more info yet, but my $orkplace has just
been hit by it and it's unknown to McAfee and Symantec at this time.

It's not W32.Netsky, as best I can tell, because of the attachment filename:
this one uses things like accabaacc.zip that are new to me.  I don't have
more info on it at this time, but will try to snare a sample in transit if
it hits my home system.

Just a heads-up,
