Something about you

Because of the way that Windows works by default, you may be fooled into thinking that if you receive a message where the attachment is called Posting.htm you are OK. There is a setting withing windows to hide the file extention for known file times (.exe, .com, etc...) so it's likely that if you receive a message which matches the other descriptive properties it will contain the virus.

Delete and do not think about opening it.
