    Got today multiple times an email with an attachment.
    The email text is:

    "We are contacting you in regards to an unusual activity that was identified in your mailbox. As a result, your mailbox has been deactivated. To restore your mailbox, you are required to extract and run the attached mailbox utility."

    Extracting the zip reveals an "utility.exe"

    I sent it to VT, and most major or well known AV did not detect it, this includes avg, nod32, bitdefender, mse, f-prot, mcafee, panda, pctools and many more.

    softtouch, Wilders is not a malware trading forum. Be a good Samaritan and send the file to those companies who did not detect the infection.
