Overall we blocked 512 EXE on one of our external servers yesterday and 
no more than 3 came from the same IP.  On the other external server, we 
blocked 525 EXE and no more than 4 came from the same IP...

Funny thing: we received them from midnight to 1:35 and then nothing 
until 17:36 (5:36PM).  It stopped at about 19:36 (7:36PM) to not be seen 
again...

Still nothing detected by McAfee, Bitdefender or ClamAV...

PS: We've been told that McAfee will detect it with the extra.dat so I 
am about to download it.  It would be nice it mcafee-autoupdate -e 
worked as advertised...
