Franz and others,



NEVER open an attachment that contains an executable file (exe), 

unless the person who sent it to you also verifies by speaking to 

that person that the file is legit. As far as anti-virus software, 

they can't tell if there is a virus until you attempt to execute it. 

Right now its sitting there, and the program can't check it until you 

activate it.



Unless you hear from Roy, I suggest that you DELETE it.
