Dear Tim,
As a UK ISP we have seen many viruses come and go. In fact
we have managed to divert a few sendings of the Malissa
Viruses when it was in its more active state. If someone
sends you an .exe that you cannot substantiate would you
really open up that exe? Unless you have a Mac, never, never
open a .exe file that you can not substantiate. If you do
have a Mac then open as many as you can get your hands
on........

Yours
