Here goes from the Symantec site ...
======================
Overview:
Worm.ExploreZip contains a very malicious payload. Worm.ExploreZip
utilizes Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, and Microsoft
Exchange to mail
itself out by replying to unread messages in your Inbox. The
payload of the
worm will destroy any file with the extension .h, .c, .cpp, .asm,
.doc, .ppt, or
.xls on your hard drive(s), as well as any mapped drives, each
time it is
executed. The worm will also search the mapped drives for Windows
installations and copy itself to the Windows directory, and then
modify the
WIN.INI file. This will infect systems without e-mail clients.
This continues to
occur until the worm is removed.
You may receive this worm as a file attachment named
"zipped_files.exe".
When run, this executable will copy itself to your Windows System
directory
with the filename "Explore.exe", or your Windows directory with
the filename
"_setup.exe". The worm modifies your WIN.INI or registry such
that the
"Explore.exe" file is executed each time you start Windows.

Apparently it is hitting pretty hard in the computers here and is having more effects
then
