is a virus protection utility designed to remove the ExploreZIP virus/worm from your system.
The program does not report the presence or absence of ExploreZIP, but it removes this malicious virus/worm if your system is infected.
ExploreZIP is spread via the Internet as a file called "Zipped_Files.Exe"attached to e-mail. Once executed, it installs itself into the system and sends copies of itself to addresses found in your Inbox.. It endlessly monitors for and replies to all arriving messages as follows: "Hi, I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs. bye." The worm replies only to unread messages, and it marks them with a TAB character at the end of their Subject string so that it does not reply twice or reply to its own messages. Each time the worm is executed, it scans local and network drives for program source and Microsoft Office files (C, H, CPP, ASM, DOC, XLS, and PPT). Using a create-and-close routine on these files, it erases their contents and sets their file length to zero, making them unrecoverable.
