You all should know better, but careful of any emails from MWave. I'm assuming some asshat employee opened some email attachment they shouldn't have.

Anyway it's the following:

Subject: RE: Application
Body: Please see the attached zip file for details.
Attachment: your_details.zip (99kb)

Infected File: details.pif
Virus: W32/Sobig.E


...and always where sunscreen.

Bingo. Sobig fakes its from email address; this isn't coming from MWave folks.
