Virus alert: Your Statement number: 384545

I decided to receive this email instead of using OzEfilter to delete it. The subject of the email was "Your Statement number: 384545" and the body of the message was the following:

"Dear Client

As you requested, we are sending you this report with details on your account transactions made between 9/1/2008 and 10/28/2008.

At your service
Marguerite Crowell"

The email also had an zip file Details.zip and that file contained a program which was disguised to look like a Word document file where the name appeared to be Details.doc......exe, where the exe extension might not be seen by many.

The attachment was submitted to the virus scanning service identifying the attachment as malicious.
