I've seen theses emails since last Friday, and my gateway has since

It appears that a small Jscript.Encoded code is hidden at the botton of
a false (true ?) spam. After several redirections, un ss.exe file is
downloaded. This file is detected as following :

KAV : Trojan.Win32.Genme.c
Trend : not detected
ClamAV : Trojan.Xebiz.A
F-Prot : W32/Xebiz.A
NAI : not detected

From the Symantec website :

http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/backdoor.xebiz.html
A large scale spamming of messages contained a link to a Web page
hosting the backdoor. Following the link downloads the file Links.HTA,
which in turn downloads and executes the Trojan as ss.exe


note that, only unpatched systems (running Internet Explorer) are vulnerable to this trojan downloader [Object Data tag 
vulnerability (MS03-040), MHTML URL vulnerability (MS04-013) and the ADODB.Stream Vuln. (MS04-025)]
