That depends on how broken it is.
Beyond a certain amount of loss of the complete virus, there isn't enough left
to know what it was supposed to be, and besides, if what you've got isn't the
complete Mimail virus, it shouldn't be labelled to suggest that it is.
If what you have is a damaged piece of viral code, does it really matter which
virus it was before it got damaged?
