Just for anyone who doesn't know...

1. Never open an attachment from someone you don't know. Even word and excel files can run programs once opened.

2. Never open an .exe or .vbs file if you did not know it was coming to you or don't know the person. If you do know the person email them back first to find out what it is.

3. Never send .exe or .vbs files to anyone unless they request it. Better to give them the site where they can download the program themselves.

4. Better to miss out on some joke or amusing program then spend days trying to get your computer back up and running.
