It's there...as one of the variants of W32.NewApt.Worm
http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/worm.newapt.html
Variants include: g-zilla.exe, cooler3.exe, cooler1.exe,
copier.exe, video.exe, pirate.exe, goal1.exe, hog.exe,
party.exe, saddam.exe, monica.exe, boss.exe, farter.exe,
chestburst.exe, panther.exe, theobbq.exe, goal.exe, baby.exe,
bboy.exe, cupid2.exe, fborfw.exe, casper.exe, irnglant.exe,

W32.NewApt.D.Worm is different in that the name of the file
attached to the email may contain sexually explicit references.
It propagates by selecting saved messages and sending infected messages to
those email addresses.
Glider is just 'lucky' enough to have someone save one of his
messages...someone who has been infected for too long a time.
