Being computer illiterate can be scary at times. Like this morning when that e-mail arrived. No subject no sender just an attachment.

I put the cursor over the paper clip and it showed a file ILOCGFIL.EXE .

Hiding behind that little paperclip is some kind of auto run program I suspect.

Has anyone ever heard of this file is this a virus,I'm thinking I should just delete the whole e-mail.

I need some advice.

Uglyelk,
More then likey yes it's some evil code.
This should be everyones #1 rule:
If you don't normaly get attachements from some one DELETE it and ask them if the ment to send it. May sound rude but most people just don't send attachments with a 1 line description.

Rule of thumb is if you don’t know it, throw it.

Get Norton or some other inoculator to help defend yourself from getting trashed.

In today’s cyber-medieval times, one must build a strong, tall castle surrounded by a piranha-filled moat and keep the drawbridge up.

It’s going to get worse before it gets better.

Dark Ages, Tony. No one knows where those bits goes.

Thank you all, the un named e-mail has been given the boot!
