Yeah, this is the latest greatest trick they're using to get around AV
software.

Zip files are encrypted when they're password protected, so they generate a
random key, and zip it up using it. They then get the user to decrypt it
manually. The AV software can't do anything about it unless it can figure
out the key.

Sneaky.

This is what my providers email scanner said:

X-AtHome-MailScanner: Found to be clean

But it certainly is not !  I extracted the contents: gdbyygtd.scr and ran
Mcafees online freescan It did not see the zip file as a virus risk But the
extracted contents as:

The  file has a folder icon. To let you think is a folder and double click
it and No I did not open or double click it.
