SWEN VIRUS->FWD: Try on that patch which came from Microsoft

Another Swen virus newsgroup posting, this one flushed from dion.ne.jp,
who has already mailed me 653 Swen in the last couple of months and
gotten repeated requests from me to clean up their act.  Help stop Swen.

24590 Swen virus email received and reported, and counting.
More than 80% of hosts quickly cleaned up their mess and never had
another problem.  And then we have a few percent of the hosts in the
world who are the problem children of the net and still spew millions
of Swen a day. Here are my worst offenders, and I presume everyone
else's, and the number of Swen they have spewed to me;

libertysurf.net 441, telus.net 441, online.no 539, bigpond.com 624,
dion.ne.jp 653, wanadoo.fr 686, eircom.net 730, btinternet.com 805,
hetnet.nl 1224, tiscali.it 1395, tin.it 1399.

Most of these appear that they are actually doing nothing to stop this.

Here is the castrated evidence.
