Yup...it's a virus (or worm?)! My AV program, which I updated Saturday, went
frantic when I
accessed the attachment! There are four files attached...one is the virus,
one seems to be a text Java
script which calls it, and two are zero-byte files.
Wonder if this is the same mentality that inspires arseh...er, people...to
break every intact
pane of glass in a vacant building?
