Subject: New worm?

I received two copies of this worm-looking thing this
morning.  I don't
have time to look myself before I head out, but I thought
the list
might be interested.  The second copy looks like someone
who got it
themselves and wants to know what it is.

Attached is a zip, and inside it is another zip of the
two files
wrapped in their original mail headers.. so it should be
pretty
safe unless you go out of your way to run them.  In which
case,
caveat subscriber.

It looks like VBScript, and has a .vbs extension, and
diddles
with reg keys, so I assume it's after windows boxen with
WSH
installed.
