Virus?

[Radium]

Recently I got an email from allankey@hotmail.com (I think it's Veggieman). It was called "Do you?" and read "You have written a very good text, excellent, good work!". It contained a zip file with a TXT file inside. I'm not sure what the TXT did, but after I opened it I had to get rid of 150+ infected files. Anyone know anything about this?

Trafton probably knows more about this than I do, but it sounds like a virus to me. Did you save the message? If you did, you can check the headers and find the originating IP address.

Well...I'd assume it would be a virus if it caused infected files to be detected. What is the name of the virus detected in the infected files? Also, would you mind forwarding the .zip file to me at traftonofjj2@yahoo.com? I can give you detailed results within 24 hours.

I didn't save the message, but I sent Trafton the file.
