I received this email the first time it went around and turned around and emailed the guy who sent it that it was a virus and he was probably infected as I had received it.

This is a perfect example of the #1 Rule of VIrus Prevention. NEVER Download a file with double extensions unless it is .divx.avi. This exception is for Ripped DVD Movies. DivX is the Codec and Avi is the format. The DivX notates that it requires a DivX Codec to play. Otherwise some might think the file is corrupt.
