I received a copy of Bugbear last night.  It had changed the sender's address (at 
least, from the fact that the email address wasn't valid, and someone else has seen a 
copy with a morph of his address, I think that is the case).

Sorry not to be linear in my reply, but the url below states "The worm also has the 
ability to construct addresses for the From: field from information harvested off the 
infected users system. For example, the worm may find the addresses [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
and [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then the worm could create an email addressed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and spoof the 
from address to report [EMAIL PROTECTED] The spoofed address can also be a valid email address 
found on the system."

I know it tries to steal (via a keylogger) password, credit card information, etc. and 
tries to terminate firewall and antivirus programs.

And it targets TB!: 
http:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
"The second thread is responsible for the mass-mailing payload. It searches for email 
addresses in the current inbox and in files that have these extensions:

.mmf
.nch
.mbx
.eml
.tbb

.ocs"
