I just got e-mail from a NetApp employee with the now-famous (as of this morning) body:
Hi <my name here> ! I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs. bye.
and "zipped_files.exe" attachment. Needless to say, persons who read mail on Windows systems would be well-advised not to open that attachment.

i got one of these from netapp today to, did everyone on the list get one of these? perhaps the list has been spammed with the virus?

Not so far. But since it seems to be the Windows mail Worm de Jour (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/worm.explore.zip.html) then I'm sure we all will sooner or later.

Actually, it looks like someone at NetApp was infected and the worm is just emailing itself out. The message body was consistent with the virus alert I read and InterScan identified it... Looks like some Sysadmins at NetApp will be busy tonight.
Good luck guys.

Yeah, I thought it looked suspicious when I ran "strings" on the .exe (on my FreeBSD box) and spied the text of the e-mail message replicated inside it...
