Just got sent a (probable) virus to my forum email address

I have a unique email address just for this forum, and just got sent something that looks very much like a virus.

From: info@taxi-vogt.de
Subject: my advice....

solve the problem!

with an executable called update.com attached - not that I could run it if I was stupid enough to - not using a micro$oft OS.

Only place the addy has been used is on the forum or talking to a couple of people on the forum. So be careful out there.

Address are eaily ripped from forums by bots then used to send spam mail out.

This one doesnt seem too bad to others I have been on in the past. But it does still happen.

I always delete mail from people I dont know, or with a dodgy subject line. I dont bother even reading them. Unless I am expecting an email from someone who isnt on my contacts list!
