Hello,
As I suspected this is a new virus called "I-Worm.Swen" :
http://www.viruslist.com/eng/index.html?tnews=1001&id=88142
The network worm named, I-Worm.Swen is causing an epidemic. The malicious program spreads using email, the Kazaa file-sharing
network and via IRC channels.
Infected messages appear to have been sent from various Microsoft services, including for example MS Technical Assistance, Microsoft
Internet Security Section, etc. Message text advises users to install a "special patch" from Microsoft. The "patch" is included as
an attachment.
Kaspersky Labs experts currently attribute over 30,000 computer infections worldwide to I-Worm.Swen. The number of infections
continues to rise.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
