--- Doug said --- Isn't this virus fairly safe as it requires someone to actually open the attachment(.zip) then enter a password to open the virus infected file?
I don't understand why so many people are getting infected from the zip files as it seems you have to really want to open it to be infected. Not as easy as those viruses that exploited the Outlook Express preview pane and execute just by looking at the email. Doug --- End Doug --- Here is a prime example of how it spreads so well. I changed the email addresses and the customers name, but all else is unchanged.
