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...
