I also received an e-mail about "Moving Hostas" that contained an
executable.
It catched my eye because Norton AntiVirus didn't react, but it still wanted
to
save itself and execute. Looking inside the e-mail it was described as
audio!
Supposing this something "recent" I looked around and found this: Bugbear,
a mass-mailing worm. See link below. The length matches my file.
Seems to do a lot of stuff on your computer. Be careful.

PS. Just received confirmation from Symantec that the e-mail was infected
with
Bugbear! Let's see if they already have an update for this one.
