Angry Email warning!!!

I'm sending this notice to please be careful!

I just received an email from jared@pelicanparts.com with an attachment that has no purpose that I can see.

I'm a network engineer/network security officer for the Dept of Defense. I get paranoid with this type of stuff.

After looking at the email header, I noticed this email was received by the pelicanparts email server and forwarded to me from maxstudio22.66-236-61-182.daf.concentric.net [66.236.61.182] Note...this is not the fault of Pelican Parts.

The attachment is "zeyti.zip" which contains the file "zeyti.exe"

As of the writing of this message, I have not yet been able to detect a virus according to the virus definitions of the current scanners.

However, that does not mean the file is not malicious. In college years ago I wrote a program that would wipe out a computer and not be detected. DO NOT OPEN ATTACHMENTS FROM PEOPLE YOU DON'T KNOW.

I'm still analyzing the attachment, but I wanted to give warning just in case. There was no reason for me to receive this email, so it raised a red flag.

Please be careful.


UPDATE: Just discovered W32.Novarg.A@mm inside the file. DO NOT OPEN THIS FILE. KILL IT IMMEDIATELY!
