Your advice for tracking the sender of the virus could work if it wasn't for the fact the lastest (NetSky and MyDoom) spoof domain's of the sender, {..}

No, they don't. They spoof the From: address not the Recieved: headers. Which means you can trace them back to the originating ISP.

Any good ISP will act on an abuse email provided you did the correct traceback and supplied the proper info. They may not tell you they took some action but that doesn't mean you're ignored.

Crap. Even I got it wrong :( Thanks Valhallen! :)

I also stand corrected on the use of Virii..

That said.. I noticed some thing with SD's post...

Note the time in the image is my local time or GMT + 11 (why is the AO server correcting for summer time or lack there of..?)

Cheers

Evil_dice :D For what it's worth I'm at GMT+1.
