>From the support list for the virus software I use:

These do look very suspicious.  It appears as though they are malformed 
viruses -- specifically, the m e s s a g e . z i p file contains a file 
message.htm.  The message.htm file appears to start with MIME headers, 
followed by a file "foo.exe" that appears to connect to the Internet, and 
HTML JavaScript code that includes a function "malware()".  Although we 
can't confirm that it is a virus, it would appear that it is almost 
certainly either a virus or some other type of malware.
