This one got me

SDG — 8/10/2004 8:33:57 PM (archived)

I'm sad to say my perfect record of never getting infected is over. This one happened to catch me when my defenses were down. My AV definitions hadn't been updated with this particular strain yet and then I received this e-mail from a subcontractor for a job that recently went to bid. Seeing a Zip file called "new price" from somebody who just might have a new price lured me in and I took the bait.

Luckily it wasn't hard to remove and I caught it pretty quickly.
