just FYI... i got the weird email from [log in to unmask] also... it is
definitely a virus-carrying file, probably unintentionally sent (although
i do wonder about the message it was attached to, which someone has to
have written).  no matter.
 
here's the virus info, as found by norton.
 
Scan Result
Name of File:  SetupW2K.exe
Type of File:  application/octet-stream
Scan Result:   Virus W32.Magistr.24876@mm found and cleaned.
 
i took a look at the file, and it appears to be something that corrupts
.dll files, so i would definitely not recommend opening it.  if i dig up
any more info about the file, i'll pass it along.
 
moral of the story, NEVER open attachments, and if possible, set your mail
client to recieve and send email in plain text.
