Getting e-mails from "[email protected]"

[Octavio]

I keep getting e-mails from "(e-mail address removed)"

And these have an attachment called 13900_7324018_Attach.htm (845 B).

I still haven't opened the attachments, and I keep deleting the e-mail when
I get it, but then I get it again.

Any ides what this is about? And if it might be a virus?

I have Office Professional, and I use Outlook as my default e-mail, and have
Vista Ultimate.

Thanks in advance.

Which mail account type are you using?
If POP3, do you have Outlook configured to leave a copy on the server?
If so, log on to your web based mailbox and see if you received it multiple
times there as well.
If that is the case, then this message simply has been sent to you multiple
times.

The message itself appears to be junk though, so simply delete it if the
Junk E-mail filter didn't catch it already.

There are dozens of sites that can check for a Virus. Simply save the
attachment and upload it to a site for inspection. A few examples:

http://www.virustotal.com/
http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus
https://submit.symantec.com/websubmit/retail.cgi

The attachment extension would seem to indicate that it might be some sort
of PHISHING exploit however. You always forward me the attachment. I don't
use a Windows based OS so I am immune from being infected with a VIRUS.
