Speaking of Symantec, I find that their Virus Bulletins have more
marketing babble than actual virus information. Does anyone know of an
early warning mailing list that lets you know about virus outbreaks,
without all the marketing hype?

It is not from Symantec. If you visit their site you'll see they are as
upset about it as you are.
