Patrick, thanks for checking that file (I presume it was the cab file you
checked), and confirming my suspicions.  The sand box does sound like a
handy tool, and the mention of it got me to wondering what other tools exist
for checking to see what a virus tries to do to a system. (That's a general
question to the list.)

(I couldn't find any way to download the Sand Box from Norman-- is it only
available as part of the AV, or am I just looking in the wrong places?  All
I could see is Norman talking about the Sand Box, but nothing about how to
get it.)

Thanks again for scanning the file-- you didn't say if you'd submitted it to
clamav, so I submitted it this morning (#3622).

An interesting (to me!) data point-- after several weeks of receiving the
email that led me to the .cab file, it stopped yesterday (the day after I
mention what I'd found on the list), and I'm now receiving a new email
format.  I believe it's the same type of attack, but haven't found the
payload yet.
