I agree with this in principle, but I think this is a special case.
There's no denying that this is one of the most "popular"
differently-named worms ClamAV has ever dealt with.  I think it deserves
re-examination at this point, as it continues to be an issue.

Other viruses/worms have been renamed in the past, and while I recognize
that there'd be issues with renaming this one at this time, NOT renaming
it continues to create nuisances.

My personal take on the situation is that renaming would eliminate more
issues than it would create, although I could be completely wrong.
