It does work well--I use it for my company server, too.  However,
ClamAV didn't add detection for this latest ploy until 11:14 GMT

Probably the fact that it's within an encrypted ZIP attachment (and
not always with the same encryption key) is interfering with ability

I just called in my HAZMAT team.  They're bringing the tongs.  Nice try, boyz.

Unfortunately, some finite number of people on this list will actually open
it.
