Not found by Norton
I obtained a copy of the ZIP file mailed to the victim. My AVG antivirus spotted the email as containing the virus. The victim said that her Norton AV didn't flag the email and didn't recognize the virus when she specifically had Norton AV scan it. I forwarded the virus laden ZIP file to someone who kept their Nortons up to date. Again, Norton failed to respond when that email arrived or was scanned.
Conclusion, people who rely on Nortons to find this virus are going to be infected. The best approach is to not run executables, zipped or not, that you receive from strangers.
The received file attachment was entitled 'ThePictures.zip' or something like that. The executable was something like viewpics.exe.
