W32/ExploreZip.worm.pak is a new, compressed variant of the original
W32/ExploreZip.worm. AVERT has assessed it as a high-risk threat,
approaching outbreak levels! It reproduces itself by sending replies to
incoming email messages, with itself as an attachment called
"zipped_files.exe".

It includes a payload: it will search the user's mapped drives and
overwrite all files of types .c, .cpp, .asm, .doc, .xls, .ppt. to zero Kb.

IMPORTANT - If you receive an email with the message "I received your email
and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the attached
zipped docs.", DELETE IT IMMEDIATELY! It will have an attachment called
"zipped_files.exe"; DO NOT DOUBLE-CLICK OR RUN THIS ATTACHMENT! If you do,
it will infect your system!
