Dude -- ever hear (or think) of self-mailers generating random attachment names to make them less immediately identifiable? And here's a real shocker of an idea (though not actually relevant in this case) -- imagine if it was a _parasitic_ file infector! It is an existing, well-known (and "old") virus, reliably ID'ed by just about any virus scanner updated since late Feb this year. There are abundant informed and informative descriptions of how it works all over the web. It seems Mr Wood and your good self must be about the only "security experts" who have not already encountered it. -- Nick FitzGerald Computer Virus Consulting Ltd.
