Ray, I also found an old SCOUG post from Peter Skye that addresses email   
filters that can be used for the swen virus, since it uses a lot of address   
and subject variations. I think it has since added more levels of variation.   
The filters below assume two words, randomly selected, for the "from" and   
"subject" fields, but I think it's currently up to 4 random words. Once you   
get infected and send out emails, you apparently get added to address lists   
of others who get the virus and they all start sending you emails addressed   
as shown below, in a chain letter pyramid fashion.

Swen has several tables from which it randomly chooses To,  
>From and Subject.  Note that Swen creates *two* messages --  
an HTML-formatted message ostensibly from Microsoft and a  
pseudo-bounceback message.   
 
The following three filter tables have worked quite well  
here for several weeks.  They're formatted for the email  
client I use (Netscape 2.02) but should be easy to convert  
to any other format.  The first field is the folder which  
the message is filtered to, the second field is the header  
line to check, and the third field is the string to be  
matched in the header line.
