10063 2001-03-15 23:13:00 Let me put it this way...

If you don't know where the email is from, or you don't know the sender, or you are suspicious of the file attachment then you have the following options;

1. Delete the email especially if you are 99% certain it is suspicious.

2. Email the sender for confirmation, but only if you know the sender. If not I will just delete the email.

3. Be as curious as a cat, do not control your urge to double click the attachment, then experience the joy of getting infected.
