VIRUS: Win32 Executable Attachment
This signature detects Win32 executables sent as a MIME attachment. Many viruses, worms, and other malicious programs are transmitted through SMTP attachments. You might want to block all executable attachments and instead require your users to send executables in a compressed format.
Extended Description
The impact on the target system is dependent on what is contained in the malicious attachment or HTML e-mail message.
