I got several thousand copies of neo-Nazi propaganda via the Sobig.h 
virus two months ago.  Nothing of that magnitude since (though it would 
be nice not to be getting a hundred offers for trademark-violating cheap 
replica watches every day -- when will it become legal to punch spammers 
in the stomach?).

Check news.com to see if there's anything reported there.  That's how I 
learned about Sobig.h's role in the attack I got....
