Thanks for filter and sharing it with us, but I gotta ask: what's in those
viruses that is harmful but not detected by the generic filter?

Isn't there a more generic way to block those without having lots of entries
and lines of code for each virus (I especially dislike those because they
only help after the fact, after the virus has spread, and after you would
have needed it)

Do you have a copy of those viruses on some ftp site or web page so that we
can look at them and see what's unique about them?

Thanks,
Marc
