No.  That's under the control of the author of the virus, who
unfortunately doesn't appear to be inclined to make things easy for
list owners.  ;-)

You could temporarily add a warning to the message that gets sent to
new subscribers.  Unfortunately subscriber education is really the
only solution I can think of here.  Others may have better
suggestions.
