Malware spam: Random Name shared "Amendment or the Agreement_09-11-2015.zip" with you

This fake Dropbox spam appears to come from randomly-generated people..

From:    Sandy Schmitt via Dropbox [no-reply@dropbox.com]
Date:    9 November 2015 at 11:41
Subject:    Sandy Schmitt shared "Amendment or the Agreement_09-11-2015.zip" with you
   
Sandy used Dropbox to share a file with you!

Click here to view.

The link in the email actually goes to sharefile.com where it downloads a file Amendment or the Agreement_09-11-2015.zip containing a malicious execitable Amendment or the Agreement_09-11-2015.scr which has a VirusTotal detection rate of 2/54.

Automated analysis is inconclusive [1] [2] but you can guarantee that this is nothing good. Because of the low detection rates, it might be worth temporarily blocking sharefile.com.

UPDATE:

My sources (thank you!) say that this is Upatre dropping the Dyre banking trojan, dropping a DLL with a 2/55 detection rate. The comments in that report also contain a list of IP address that you might want to block.
