Although Mimail.Q did also come out today, what you're describing is
Mydoom/Novarg, which is spreading more rapidly than Mimail from the
looks of it. Details from the AV companies are sketchy at this point,
but, aside from spreading via SMTP and KaZaA, the copy I looked at
appears to start up 63 threads all requesting the index page of
www.sco.com every 300 milliseconds.

In that case, I'm installing it on all my servers.  :-)
