    McAfee here identified it as EXPLOIT-CODEBASE, but this is listed as
    known
    in their dictionary since 2002.  May be a misidentification on
    engine's
    part.  No cleaner was yet available.  Checking with McAfee Avert and
    WebImmune.

    We are getting flooded with these little puppies, does anyone have any
    additional info on what this thing does once it infects a host?
    I'll be infecting a box to test myself after i send this email but if
    anyone has done testing already it would great to hear your input.
    
    Norton have released a Def for this and identify the virus as
    WORM_MIMAIL.A
    (http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/ 
    w32.mimail.aat_private)
    
    If any one would like a copy of the original code you can get it at
