Yes that's right I have a worm in one of my linux boxes and I don't know what to do with it.

It's an e-mail worm called "Worm.SomeFool.P".

How did I get this worm?
Well I followed the instructions from my ISP, for some strange reason he likes to work on windows but uses FreeBSD for his servers.

Anyhow he asked me to FTP a certain file "z1" from his server to my machine then to e-mail it to him as an attachment.

Woops ........ his server would not accept my e-mail .. and I tried several times ..... some how this made him very happy.

It turns out he just installed ClamAV on his mail server to slow or stop the spread of windows e-mail viruses and needed me to test it for him as he could not.

NOW I have this little worm in my machine, it has done me no harm so I can't justify killing it,
I can not send it back out in to the world to feed as all my e-mails get rejected,
if I keep it it will starve as it can not feed in a Linux environment.
So just what should I to do ?
