There's always a zip attachment that contains some file I can't open. Maybe it's cuz I'm on a Mac or something, although I'm curious as to what kind of virus or whatever is contained within it.

I suspect it's the former -- I get about 10 spam messages a day.

It's the latest variation of the MyDoom virus. They try to trick you into thinking the attachment contains an important e-mail message or a message from one of your friends, so when you open/download the attachment you get sick. - Avenger > So says Dan Posluns: > [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > thinking the attachment contains an important e-mail message or a message from > one of your friends, so when you open/download the attachment you get sick.
