Gotta love that double file extension!

well, just don't open your email client else you'll probably mail it to everyone in your addressbook because I think it's a mass-mailing worm.
Do a free virus scan here if you need to:

Get a virus checker if you haven't got one (AVG is free and good)
And remember, virus checkers are no good unless you update 'em regularly!
