We are experiencing that as well in our company...but, I just delete them, don't have time to check this out, and..it is well known that attached files can be dangerous! :)

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
