Subject: Yet another version of a worm mass mail? (Paypal.com new year offer)

Hi all.

I received a mail which is said to be from Paypal.com (has been sent 
from an IP that is registered to an ISP in Venezuela), subject is 
"PAYPAL.COM NEW YEAR OFFER". Attached is a file called "paypal.zip" that 
contains a file "paypal.exe" (2592 bytes).

Is this yet another variant of a well-known mass mailing worm, or is 
this something new? I saved that mail, so if someone wants to take a 
closer look at it, let me know.

Bye, Mike
