Rather than reply to individual posts I will post a general comment and let it be. Granted I knew the zip file was a high risk option. However, I am also rather confident in my ability to recognize and react to all but the most sophisticated malware afflictons. Among those precautions would be an immediate and complete Windows 7 system store. Additionally, opening the file in Sandboxie generally preempts any infestation of the primary system. I realize that not everyone knows I have an extensive computer background. As someone posted either on this or another list - I was working on computers in 1969. Well, I am not sure that I can make that claim. I can attest to more than a decade managing information technology operations. In the time period I guided a telecommunications holding firm IT through the madness that was the break-up of AT&T. An exhilarating time and never a dull nanosecond ;-) In closing - why did I open it? I was curious and because I could. I know that worst case I would have to spend a day restoring my system from ongoing backups. Finally, I wanted to make sure that there indeed was a wolf in the henhouse before I cried "WOLF". Snopes is full of instances where there was no fact checking.. Be well and at peace.
