Also, talk to your ISP.  They should have a way of filtering out
executable files before you ever get them.  My ISP does that and I get
about one or two messages a week reporting that something has been
filtered.

The malicious code writers are clever, however, and are always looking
for tricks to get around the various traps.  I have a rule not to
*ever* open an attachment unless I'm expecting it in advance.  Plain
text only, no HTML.

So far it has worked.
