Well, I know Mcafee's dailydats had it when we got hit at 10:00am local
time (UTC-6). ClamAv probably had it shortly also, but I don't know. I
haven't been hit with it yet. I just looked in my virusmails dir and I
have a few copies of Gibe, one of Bagle, and one of Netsky/SomeFool.

To date I don't have a MyDoom.o instance on the machine. As much as I
respect ClamAV I'm really thinking I'm going to put the mcafee unix
virusscan on the system again, to provide an extra layer of protection.
