Hi,

Just to confirm receipt of another email containing the following 
text:

Hello my dear Mary, 

I have been thinking about you all night. I would like to apologize 
for the other night when we made beautiful love and did not use 
condoms. I know this was a mistake and I beg you to forgive me. 

I miss you more than anything, please call me Mary, I need you. Do 
you remember when we were having wild sex in my house? I remember 
it all like it was only yesterday. You said that the pictures 
would not come out good, but you were very wrong, they are great. 
I didn't want to show you the pictures at first, but now I think 
it's time for you to see them. Please look in the attachment and 
you will see what I mean. 

I love you with all my heart, James.

With attached Private.zip.

A quick strings (after unpacking) on the file gives 
http://afx.alink.co.za/rt.txt

The original archive is available @ http://afx.alink.co.za/Private.zip

I don't have the time to take this apart, but some interesting things
include a call to function "UrlDownloadToFileA", and a bunch of other
HTTP-style requests.

Also looks like it may do some kind of speed test and post results
as well remotely, including IP address of the infected host, as well
as pulling stuff out like RAS info, pop3 info, etc.

The host that appears to be called is "finance.red-host.com", with a
call made to the page "showinfo.php", which returns only
--snip--
Error 0x7a2e: Invalid query, database search failed.

without anything appended.

There's quite a bit more in here.

  A.
