While I saw pasted email on a web page (without any headers to identify
the sender beyond the faked "nobody @
 internic .
 net") and the binaries for
this supposed virus which claimed to be "attached" (presumably to the
original email) were not available, I would not consider running anything
that claimed to be a virus without seeing and compiling the source code
myself.

What this is undoubtedly is not a "virus" in the traditional sense, but
more properly classified as a "crack" or "exploit". In any case I would
very much like to examine the source code if anyone knows where to get it.
