I have so far received 2,337 e-mail infected with W32.Swen.A@mm (a.k.a.
Worm.Automat.AHB) since 19th of September. No mail has so far been
bounced as I have 50 MB total POP-account quota at my local ISP and
download e-mail and thus empty the POP-account several times each day.

After the infected attachment has been removed by Norton AntiVirus (TM),
the remainder (the mail header) is moved to a spesial file. By using
these headers, I can then make a graphic chart (by using a small program
I have made myself) showing how many infected e-mail that has been
received each day, as you can from the following:

Stig, your graph is interesting. I know that I have received
"thousands" as well, but have not been counting. Hopefully, your
graph indicates a "slowdown".

Greetings to Kirkenes, Norway from Albany, New York, USA.
....carry on.
