AFAIR it is one which spoofs the sender address, but then most 
probably do these days.

I also had a copy of Netsky.B early on Friday, and the only tracing I 
could readily do was that the sender IP appeared to be a Tiscali 
user. It was not sent via a list, but was to my ODG Branch email 
address. Still, even that could be a spoof address!
