Know somebody what is "indice_bursier.zip.scr" (indice_bursier is in Romanian language and means stock market or something like this).
I saw this file attached to an e-mail.
If you run this file, it add in registry a path to "eysp.exe" and place this file in startup.
Norton antivirus don't react to this file.
Strange!

CERT (http://www.cert.org/) doesn't raise any flags on this either, but that doesn't mean that there isn't a new virus, and you are lucky enough to be one of the first recipients.

Is there any other indications in the email as to what the attachment might be related to? Was this an unsolicited email?

Generally, unsolicited emails with any attachments raise my security feelers.

You might consider downloading 'trial versions' of a couple of other AV suites and running them on your suspect system. I like RAV as a cross-check to Norton, it's found virus's before that Norton didn't. Then there is McAfee, Kaspersky, F-Prot, to name a few. Just "Google" on any of those to get to the sites.

On WinNT it can't make any damages, but on WinXP Pro, it infected: Acrobat and WinZip.
I found at www.bitdefender.com a removal tool.
