RE: [Leica] Virus

This is a slightly different version of the PrettyPark.  The prior version
arrived in compressed form; the new version arrives in uncompressed form and
the antivirus product needs to be updated to reflect this.  My company began
seeing it last Wednesday evening and saw a sharp rise of propagation on
Friday.
