It's a virus. We deal with it by doing virus filtering as well as Spam. Your 
best option would be to buy our service ;-) Seriously though, if you're not 
going to be hit by these annoying virii (i.e. you run some form of Unix) then 
I suggest one-off procmail recipes or something like that. In this case you 
can scan for attachments of type audio/x-wav but where the filename ends in 
.scr or .exe.

Alternatively dump all .exe, .scr, .pif, .com, .bat, .vbs and so on, 
attachments at the gateway.
