SMTP: Winamp Skin File Extension (.WSZ/WAL)
This signature detects e-mail attachments with the extension ".wsz" or ".wal" sent through SMTP. This can indicate an incoming e-mail virus. WinAmp Skin files can contain one or more executable scripts. Attackers can create malicious skin files, tricking the user into executing the file and infecting the system.
