I would contact Symantec, Computer Associates, Trend Micro, and or Data Fellowes

I know Trend and Symantec accept submissions.

It might be awhile before you get any response if any but its worth a try.

pandasoftware.com claims they have a 48hr response to any virus concerns

W95.Hybris aka "Snow White" acts like this.
To quote the Symantec site: "Whenever you send email, the worm sends a second message to the same person, attaching a copy of itself using a randomly generated file name."
