Actually, this is a virus posting that's had the virus stripped by the NNTP server. That's what MS does about this. Postings that actually contain the virus are 144K - 157K in size, depending on which of several bogus subjects and content the virus is posted with.

Note that other NNTP servers also feed the MS servers and host the MS public newsgroups. If you're reading this newsgroup from any source other than news.microsoft.com (or msnews.microsoft.com - they're the same), then you may have the full attachment - there's nothing MS can do about that - it's up to the admins of whatever NNTP server you're using.
