Zip Worm
There is a worm on the loose that uses a zip file
attachment, a ploy which successfully avoids virus
scanners.
Advice: Do not unzip any attachments unless you are
absolutely certain you know that you want that zip
file from a known source. Delete any emails containing
zip files you are not expecting.
If you are uncertain whether an email contains a virus,
delete it... uncertainty maybe the essence of quantum
physics, but it is not something to act on in respect of
uncertain emails.
