Be careful as that file extension can also hold a worm so do you trust the e-mail.

Thats the way alot of worms come, as I thought OUTLOOK opened them as EMaiLs automatically. And thought they have an envelope Icon when viewed in the folder.

Here is another thought...If it was recieved from someone you know, always send them an email and ask "What was that attached to the last email and what program did you use to make it?" Cause they might not have sent it but are infected.

If it was from someone you do not know, do not open it.
