According to a Symantec spokesman the threat had been downgraded from an "ohmygod turn off the servers and wrap them in cotton wool" 5, to a "my-mother-makes-tea-stronger-than-that" 2.

In fact your average virius checker would spot it and delete it without stretching its parameters at all.

"There's really only one way that it could spread, which is through a local mail server that it attaches to, and the chances of it getting out there are very, very slim," Symantec said.

At the height of MyDoom Symantec had to deal with 8,000 requests for information while Evaman had only three inquiries and one of them was a wrong number.
