Hi John,

The strange thing is, I didnt even open it upon initial reciept. Simply deleted
it. Later on in the evening I got a complaint from a fellow on my mailing list
saying I had sent this thing to him. Only then did I go to the trash container
and open it to see what the heck it was. I now have deleted the whole trash
container. I have time this evening to run some checks for viruses, and
fortunatly I have everything of importance backed up, so at worst I will have to
blank out the hard disk and reload everything. Pain in the butt. In anycase I
hope others who have recieved this also have taken appropriate precautions.
