Guest guest Posted July 30, 2001 Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 This is off topic but I want to remind everyone, if a file ends in .exe it is likely to carry a virus. Especially if you see it in a list and the subject has NOTHING to do with the list topic. Files that end in .exe and things like .vbs are potentially hazardous to your computer (I work in the IT section of a large company and deal with viruses all day long). Make sure your virus signatures are up to date, most of them have updates daily with the influx of new viruses. Be safe! 4/12/01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
