Today, I got a message that has all the characteristics of a Virus but
if it is, it's one that's not detected by Nod32.
The subject of the message was Bug Letter. It came along with an
attachment called dpkxoqd.exe which is only 1 kb in size.

The message source is as follows:

Thanks for any info.

Doubtful it's a virus - if anything it could be a tracking executable -
i.e. you double click/launch the exe file and it reports back to a
server that the Email was received. In which case you be perpetually
nailed with SPAM forever more.

It's a swen with the virus executable removed. Earthlink does that too,
but they put a note in the message telling you the virus was removed-which
makes it less mysterious.

It *is* attempting to use an autoexecution exploit.

The "Iframe" version of the "Incorrect MIME Type" exploit.

Submit the attachment to other vendors' scanners (as well as Nod32) to
see what they make of it. The attempted exploit alone makes it malware
(the e-mail) even if the program (attachment) is a joke program IMAO.
