    Well, it's been a few hours now
    that I have been messing with it. 
    It isn't all that easy to clean up, even
    with the new definition tables, F-prot
    linux scanner will report clean with
    clearly infected .eml(s) laying everywhere.
    Norton isn't much better running over
    a mounted drive from a win2K box.
    
    RAV antivirus is about the only
    scanner i've found thusfar that
    has the horsepower to clean this
    thing up.
    
    If you had an infected host connected
    to your samba server, you have
    infected files in every directory
    writable by the user on that host.
    These files are probably .dll(s) and
    .eml(s) but i have seen other 
    extentions like .wml 
    
    Also, the file names seem to be
    datasource*.eml but they may also
    be 20010531.eml (it's that old!)
    or they may be random strings of
    integers with a .eml or .wml 
    extension. 
    
    And they will be EVERYWHERE possible.
    
    This thing isn't fun.
