This signature detects uncompressed Win32 executables sent within a ZIP file as a MIME attachment. Many viruses, worms, and other malicious programs are transmitted through SMTP attachments. You might want to block all executable attachments.
The impact on the target system is dependent on the instructions contained in the malicious zip file.
