Hi,

our company has recieved some e-mails containing 
the some attachments (all of them as mime-type 
audio/wav) like:
IS_LINUX_GOOD_ENOUGHX.TXT.pif
MATRiX_2_is_OUT.SCR

But the filesize differs from the BadTrans.B worm 
which we also recieved. Interesting output of 
"strings IS_LINUX_GOOD_ENOUGHX.TXT.pif":

----------SNAP-----------

It seems that the filenames are hardcoded. The most 
interesting lines are those "AVP.avp." things, 
which look like hostnames of some anti-virus 
vendors.

Maybe there have already been messages about this 
worm, if not i could provide the complete message 
(still transport encoded and the .pif only) for 
research purposes.


Greetings
