Not what this is supposed to be when clicking on that email in
lookout. Clicking on that message and lookout opens and runs
everything it find in it. Wrong.

Running win9x and pegasus mail, it's quality freeware and proper
email program in a sense. Mine has no virus scanner but I watch
everything that not mine data moving in and out of my room. I saw
that same email address and looked at attachment displayed as list of
files and this one is .exe and I didn't do anything because it look
funny and suspicious. It wasn't normal email message because I can't
get full header and no email and that item is a
file only not attachment.

Cheers,
