Pulled an .exe off of a customers machine this morning. Undetected by NAV, 
scanmail, or anything else. Customer had "preview pane" on in OE 6.0, and 
it dropped sysh0st.exe into winnt/system32, installed an entry into 
HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/run. The sysh0st.exe 
service then watches irc on 65.35.56.26 for commands. Once it activated it 
degraded the customers network beyond use due to the ammount of traffic 
being generated.
