Seems like this virus/worm has a bug where it will occasionally send out 1
byte attachments rather than the correct worm payload. Since the virus is
not truly attached it tends to pass through e-mail virus scanners.
It's causing a fair amount of end user confusion today -- lots of 'why is
your/my virus scanner not working?' questions.
