{It looks like you have your version of Windows set to "hide extensions for known file types" } EVERYONE who had Windows should make this change NOW. Why? Virus-senders typically send their viruses as "iloveyou.txt.vbs". Windows will hide the ".vbs" and you are now looking at a "iloveyou.txt". But, what looks like an innocent text file is actually a Visual Basic Script file, designed to damage your computer. And, yes, this is EXACTLY how the "I LOVE YOU" virus spread... people would click a "text file" that would send itself via that person's address book.
