There is a virus attachment that comes with Emails containing the
phrase "I send you this file inorder to have your advice." I've had
over 50 of them in the last month. PC only virus of course; Macs are
safe. The attachment has many names and suffixes and the Email
subject line varies, but the phrase in the text of the Email is
always the same.
