I've added an ArpFlooding page (which should perhaps be renamed to 
ArpScanning) with a small amount of information on that; the ARP page 
and the NetworkTroubleshooting page both refer to it.  I leave 
enumerating viruses that do this, and giving more detail, such as links 
to information about those viruses, to the readership (translation: I'm 
not going to add that stuff, so if somebody wants it there they'll have 
to put it there or hope somebody else does; a Wiki is a collaborative 
effort...).
