daoist: You really shouldn't be giving out that bad advise. "when someone you don't know" Is totally wrong. The bad file attachment (which I agree no one should open anyway) comes it is almost ALWAYS from someone you DO know, and where you are in their address book or it mined emails, etc. for your address. Almost all virus/trojans spoof the from line now. The best IMHO is a $79 on sale router/firewall Lynksys from Bestbuy along with Norton. Works for me ...
