It was W32.Yaha.P. We received many of this worm
either in executable or zipped executable attachments. When it was zipped, the

Yes, if
you'd really like it. Where to send the sample?
I would prefer avoiding
another virus alert at this mailing list, like the last time when I only sent
the first some bytes of a viral attachment.

I did it and it works. Thanks for the
tip!
