It looks like you have a new varient of spyaxe - or similar.

==============

You have a number of files that we would like copies of - to check out and play with.

1. Using Windows Explorer, go to . Locate the first file you want to zip.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\plflxq.exe

2. Right click on the file and select "Send To" and "Compressed (zipped) Folder".

3. Then locate and right click on


C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp2565.tmp

4. Select "Copy".

5. Right click on the compressed folder and select "Paste". The copied files will be compressed and pasted in.

Note that the folder should have 2 files in it if you found them all.

6. Right click on the zipped folder and select "Explore".

7. In "File" menu select "Add a Password". Enter the password infected and confirm the password.

8. Please email to cjwd-sub AT hostingatessex.com (Please replace the 'AT' with an '@' )

Please copy the following to the email and attach the zipped file(s) :

The password is "infected".
