Re: [Full-Disclosure] ZIP Attachment

[GuidoZ <uberguidoz@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm well aware that a filename usually isn't a very useful tools when
tracking down virus infection. However, it was all there was to go off
of, so I ventured out on Google for a minute or two and posted back
the results. It's wasn't just "drivel" mind you. More like a friendly
report from the information at hand.

A little respect isn't that difficult. =) Maybe saying "once again
I'll remind you" instead of "folks with intellect have to point out",
for example. I doubt the original posted lacks intellect. I'm quite
sure I don't either. In fact, those that have to point out they don't
usually have some issues.

Glad the mystery was solved however. This reply isn't meant to be a
"flame" in any way, so please don't treat it as such... It is just a
mere explination of actions.
