Anyone seeing 21486 byte Attach.zip/password protected/.exe file?

I don't bite, weah!

48028 -- archive password

and a 21486 byte Attach.zip with password that contains gcqlk.exe.

Latest Norton scan sees nothing, googling finds nothing, searching
AV sites turns up nothing.

Spewed from Comcast with forged header claiming it is from
fp0@goaway.cc.monash.edu.au, as if that makes any difference.


I ain't gonna execute that, mummy didn't raise the stupid children.

If it don't work, hit it
If it still don't work, kick it
If it works after hitting it or kicking it, then it doesn't matter if
that helped, what's important is it worked.

For what its worth , lately I have been receiving a heap of suspicious mail
from all sorts of edu sites such as yours - Monash is one of many . I don't
normally communicate with anyone from any of these places so I have just
been using mailwasher and deleting them at the server .

So the password/encryption on the zip is going to get these right past
all the virus checkers. Cute. Is this worth reporting? Where?

And the game goes to the next level.

Thanks to everyone for help with the diagnosis

hi William , no I didn't trace back , I just went on the from field , which
I know doesn't mean much in these cases . But strange that they all seem to
come from edu domains . Because these messages aren't from anyone I know and
they look suspicious plus they all carry attachments I just delete em at the
server .
