You don't need (1) a special string pattern, nor (2) a signature-based AV
scanner.

Like most email worms, this is an executable attachment. Assuming you
have the exiscan patch applied, you can get rid of all executable
attachments, past/present/future with e.g:

deny demime = bat:cmd:com:exe:hta:js:jse:lnk:pif:scr:shs:vbe:vbs:wsf:wsh

Some people would suggest a longer list of file extensions - see the list
archives.

Cheers
