Virus Warning!

[Jorgen Karlsson]

I did something similar a few weeks ago, I thought that it was probably a
Virus but decided to check if it was. I dragged it from the email to the
desktop and checked it, sure it was a virus. I then marked it to delete it,
ARRRGGGHHHH.... DAAAMMM Single click to open wasn't the best feature this
time....
