We received an email to a user last night with a file attachment named:

        GULEN.JPG.vbs

The text says:

        "Plan Colombia" virus v1.0 by Sand Ja9e Gr0w   (www.colombia.com)

        Dedicated to all the people that want to be hackers or crackers, in
        Colombia This program is also a protest act against the violence and
        corruption that Colombia lives... I always wanting that all this
finishes,
        I have said...  Santa fe de Bogota 2000/09 I dedicate to all you the
        song "GoodBye" of Andreas Bochelli

etc

The macro attaches itself to new emails with a slightly randomized
extension (gif.vbs, jpg.vbs, etc).
