New Virus: Do I Have to Tell You? Don't Install Exe Files Sent via Email!

A new email is going around with an executable file attached that claims to inform you that said sender has detected you have a worm or virus, and to please run this program to clean your system.

I could go into the details, but they will change and the scam will morph - just don't install anything anyone sends you via email unless you know for a fact the sender intended to do so and you want the program on your local PC. As a general rule, I'd say just never install anything someone sends you via email.
