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.
