Received email from trusted friend with download attached. His instructions said to run this and it would seek corrupted Windozz files and list them for you. It was called "Identify" and had a smiley face icon. When I executed it, a screen came up scrolling thru disappearing Windozz files then said something to the effect that my system was now toast. Of course, it was a joke. Ha Ha! Be forewarned.

Just say No to e-mail attachments. Even from a "trusted friend," who may have no knowledge that he's passing along a virus.
