Got an email from a friend, when I hit reply it shows attachments that I don't see in the preview window. (Meaning I have only clicked once, not downloaded the mail yet)
says attachment1.txt and lists two attachments that are just codes...
Am I getting paranoid or is this something I should know about?

Don't worry too much about it Adrienne. Chances are that it's not a virus.
Depending on the brand of software the 2 of you are using, sometimes e mail is sent or forwarded as plain text and html. The plain text is normally the attachment.
However I could be wrong
Just remember to keep your virus program up to date & always back up your computer data at least once a week.
Havin' fun,

Gosh, I think I'm just getting paranoid...It occured to me that it might just be the stationary and fancy text I was using.....aren't most viral attachments .exe?
Anyway, thanks!
