Hi! How are you?

I send you this file in order to have your advice

See you later. Thanks

........

The attachment contained the virus.

With a previous client (and a message and file name - the same as title - that made logical sense) I nearly ignored the company rule to copy to external disc and scan - fortunately I decided on caution at the last moment. Current edition (updated 20JUL) of Norton Antivirus picked it up but was only able to quarantine (unable to fix).

Phew ... Nearly had to sack myself then !!!!
