I've been getting this dump as well, but my ISP is catching the virii and
dumping them. As far as I can tell, my "normal" levels of spam and virii
haven't changed, but I've been getting a steady stream of Swen.A
http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.swen.a@mm.html
on top of that. Maybe a dozen per hour, or so.
Not much I can do about it; tracing them back to find the real source invariable
stalls out at an ISP that isn't mine, which refuses to give me information or
co-operate because I'm not their customer.
