Just received this from Symantec:
There have been some preliminary reports of a new virus that will likely
reveal itself as the day progresses. It hasn't been given an official name
as of yet and we only have limited information at the moment. As a
preventative measure, I would strongly suggest setting up some filtering
rules at your e-mail gateway to block any attachments named "message.zip" or
"message.html" and if you can filter based on subject line, also filter on
the phrase "your account" without quotes (for file names as well of course).
Samples have been submitted and Symantec Security Response is currently
analyzing them
