New mass mailer spreading (Blackmal/Grew/Nyxem), (Wed, Jan 18th) -

We got several submissions of new mass mailer worm spreading around. Besides the usual stuff that worms do these days (disable AV programs, scan the local system to find new e-mail addresses) this one is a bit more interesting as the attachment can be either an executable file or a MIME file that contains an executable file.The sample we received had attachment named Attachments00.HQX - which is actually just an uuencoded file:begin 664 Attachments,zip .SCRM35J
