Microsoft Security Essentials did not detect this attachment as being malware, yet there is no doubt to me it is malware. Using OzEfilter I would have deleted this email at the mail server safely away from my computer.

PS. This has been confirmed as malware by the service I use as detailed in MyAnswers solution 1890.
The update of Microsoft Security Essentials on 25/3/2010 at 3:15AM which was the latest update of MSE when the malware was received did not detect the malware.
ReplyDeleteThe update produced on 25/3/2010 at 12:25PM now detects the malware.
