Let's hope the impact of this new development does not become a thorn in the flesh. This worm is probably a pilot virus to test for its viability. There is little if any value in an 8K download, so the worm gives itself away, how many of us are searching for a file 8K in size, right? However, future revision could make the file any size, disguising its true colors.

I don't d/l any exe files as it is, I'm sure not going to start now. Embedding the file into a zip package could be a problem unless detection can remove it first. The big boys, i.e. Symantec and McAfee, will hopefully address the issue and resolve at some point. You might think that they have no concern for Gnutella plagues, but exe viruses can impact anyone with an internet connection, so they will have a vested interest in case variants/mutants come about, which I believe is inevitable.
