Curious as to why we're seeing all these WDEF reports, and not similar
numbers of reports of other widespread viruses.  Has it just become a
tradition to report WDEF on VIRUS-L, or is WDEF better at spreading?
If the latter, does anyone have a good feeling for what about WDEF
makes it so (um) virulent?  DC
