Well, it shouldn't have to be said (but it does bear repeating), but you should never, EVER click on an attachment unless you GENUINELY know who sent it and why. A legitimate online business will NEVER send an executable file to you via email. Not only is it bandwidth and time consuming for them, it's extremely poor practice to send people unsolicited files, and they know it. When/if you get mail supposedly from Microsoft, PayPal, Ebay, Norton, whomever, go to their site FIRST and check. If you can't find the info that you're supposed to "update" or whatever, don't do it. You can always write to their technical support and ask them what it's about... Sometimes it pays to be cynical and suspicious. ;-) bonni
