If you want to send any file type as described by Mark below... you
should have zip (compress) it first so that the reciepent will know you
send it purposely, not send by the worm (ands as some people are
blocking those file types)  You can download some compression software
like winzip at www.winzip.com .  The best way to protect yourself is in
this case, is to check first who is sending it, then what is the
messages in the e-mail... If you suspect something from the message( it
always something that a friend will not write it - it's too official or
a bit uncomplete message) then delete the e-mail.... (if you don't use
outlook)  If you recieve  file attachment from someone that you do knot
know... then do not open (run) the attachment.... it might contain a
worm.  One more thing is, always scan the disk from somebody else or
your own disk before opening files inside it..... Most virus that spread
thru this way are those old typed virus... not e-mail worm....

"So you have to be careful even when you have a virus checker.  Don't
open an executable file (an EXE file, a PIF file, an SCR file, etc.)
unless you're certain it's okay, and be suspicious of any file that
comes with a nondescript note like, "Here's something that may
interest you."
