Rule to search for specific text in attachment?

Rule to search for specific text in attachment...

Does anyone know if this can be done?

The antiviral that our company uses replaces the infected attachement
with a text file containing the following text:
"This attachment has been replaced with this message because it was
found to contain a virus:"

That's great - but I seem to have nothing to "lock into" then I attempt
to create a rule...

There is nothing unique in the message header, subject, or message body
that I can use either.

The only thing I have to work with is that unique text in the
attachment...

This latest variant of the Sober email worm is killing me - approx 30
messages a day!

Outlook rules cannot search attachments or attachment names.

What you can do is set a rule to search the body of the e-mail. I'm sure
that the body of the e-mail containts that specific text.
