I would also be interested in seeing if anyone else know what this is.
One of our users received an email with the same identical subject line,
with the attachment 'new.zip'. The email also had an identical user
name, but from 'roi.net'. We quarantine zip files at the mail gateway
before it actually gets scanned, so I've no idea what it is either.

Hey there everyone,

I recieved a mysterious email this morning at 1728 GMT which had headers
as 
follows:

Return-path: <hamish1 () voyager co nz>
Envelope-to: hamish1 () webhosting net nz
Delivery-date: Tue, 28 Jun 2005 05:22:44 +1200

As you can guess, I'm hamish1 () webhosting net nz.
This email contained no text, only an attachment called legs.zip, which 
Norton (fully updated to its' latest version and data files) did not
detect 
any viruses in.
Within the legs.zip file there is a file called ds-rwe.exe - this again
was 
not detected as a virus.
My girlfriend thought she would be smart and ran ds-rwe.exe, which gave
me a 
memory overflow message for explorer.exe immidiately.
Does anyone have any idea of what this might be, and also if it is a
virus 
that has already been identified? If not, I am willing to pass it
through to 
someone to take a look at in its' zip format.
Otherwise if the effects cannot be reversed, I am afraid I will have to 
reformat this machine *sigh* NOT AGAIN :(
Have a great day everyone and thanks in advance for your help.


Kindest of regards,
