I really doubt that this is a virus (although it does show some virus
like traits). For one thing, that changeset has been around for a while
and you'd expect the AV folks to have come up with something, for
another, it's hard to see someone writing a virus which knows enough to
escape the Squeak environment and lay waste to your Celeste folders (and
only your Celeste folders). 

Can you try opening up the Celeste folder(s) (with a text editor, maybe)
and seeing if the other attachments/messages are in there?  If they are,
then this is some kind of Celeste issue.

Cheers
