Captain,

Some of us really do prefer the MS operating system to MAC

But Capt. PPrune is dead right that you don't open anything that you were not expecting! In addition, it's always a good idea to set Word and Excel and any other MS Office application to give the option to enable or disable macros by default before opening documents.

Likewise any "ececutable" (.exe .com .vb-anything)files should never be run unless you are absolutely sure of the origin.

Remember that Pretty Park came with the apparent signature of somebody you knew (the virus extarted it from the address book of the sending computer, same as it extracted your email address from the same source!)
