Don't feel picked on. I've noticed about 20/day... About 220 since
Aug 19th.
Symptoms are:
A "Content-Type: application/x-compressed;" size of 0 or 8 bytes.
File, so far, is ALWAYS a .zip with names like "payment.zip",
"funny.zip", "account-details.zip", "test.zip"... May have some text
designed to get you to open the .zip...
The message is supposed to be from your ISP complaining about your
account.
Personally, I think it is a virus with a 'bug' because my virus
filters have caught about the same number with much larger payloads.

I am perfectly capable of learning from my mistakes. I will surely
learn a great deal today.
