OT: new virus

[Steven Pritchard <steve@silug.org>]

So this is

I think...  This week's virii are particularly annoying, because they
come as password-protected zip files, meaning the AV software (at
least what I run) can't open the zip and just passes it on through.

Note that people are not only opening these things, but then running
the executable included in the zip file.

I have to say that I'm mildly amused by the level of social
engineering going on here though.

Oh, and for the record, I only care because I find the extra email
particularly annoying.  There's no Windows here...
