Attached is an executable file Copy_10292013.zip which contains an executable file Copy_10292013.exe which is (of course) malicious. Note that the date is encoded into the filenames, so future versions of this will vary.

The VirusTotal detection rate is just 3/47. Automated analysis [1] [2] shows an attempted connection to allisontravels.com on 69.26.171.181 (Xeex Communications, US) which appears to be the only site currently on this server. I would recommend blocking one or both of these.

I opened it. How do I seek and destroy?
