To quote from the list introduction:

   Certain topics are forbidden on this list.
     * Do not send virus reports to this list (see below).


Viruses

   Do not send virus reports to this list. Most virus reports turn out to
   be hoaxes, so forwarding a virus report without examination is like
   shouting fire in a crowded theater. To find out which are real and
   which are hoaxes, myths, and urban legends, try these URLs. But do not
   send virus reports to this list.
