The real "tipoff" is that it was a .exe file. Nobody legit sends .exe files. Always assume such files arriving via e-mail are malevolent. The e-mail rule of thumb is very simple: Data OK, programs not OK.

Glad you caught it before it caught you.

I got one a few days ago that AVG caught. I drug it to my desktop and then scanned and it was detected. I wanted to alert the person that sent it to me that he was infected (the only reason I didn't just delete it) but the "from" in my inbox did not have that info. I tried to clean it but was unable to and my AVG program put it in what they call the Virus Vault to keep you from messing with it. I think it was the hahaha virus.

tc :-)
