What happens when you open the .zip attachment? Is the virus (NetSky) being
replaced by your Anti-Virus software with a notification?

Hi All

Something weird has been happening the last three days. We have been
getting
mails that look like the NetSky virus (smae text and attachments), to a
certain mailboxs, but the weird thing is
that the .zip attachment is 78 Bytes, the actual virus .zip file is 22,016
bytes. Another things is our Mailsweeper is set to block all .zip files
but
this one is getting through. I did a test and sent a mail with a normal
.zip
attachment to this mail box and it got blocked. Has anyone seen this or
have any ideas on what its all about?

Thanks in advance.

Sean
