Yes, and (for me) this is another demonstration of how prolific these attachments are becoming; fortunately I have learned the hard way not to open incongruent attachments like this one. And it seems that .exe attachments surely spell disaster. I am email attachment-shy, congruents and incongruents alike, and would like experience from others about proceeding safely.

If you have not updated your anti-virus software in the last week or so, you I would advise you to do so now. For safety sake, I am going to have my software scan my entire computer this morning.
