W32/ExploreZip.worm is a worm that infects Windows systems. It is very
dangerous, potentially more destructive than Melissa. 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
hard drive and delete all files of types .c, .cpp, .asm, .doc, .xls, .ppt.
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!
