Be careful opening file attachments in your email.  I just received three emails that were apparently from members of two different gun forums (including AR15.com).  Each of these emails had file attachments that appeared to be viruses.  I don't actually know the senders, but if they had me in their address book, they probably have you in there, too.  Beware of attached files with double extensions, or with extensions of .pif or .scr.  These could very well contain viruses.  

If you are expecting an email from someone, but not an attachment, you should verify with the sender before opening and executing any attached files.

[i]BTW...in case you were wondering, I did not download the attached files, and I am virus-free.[/i]

Because this happened to me also. Fortunately it was caught before opening.
