funny thing I had an email from UPS that had a "receipt" attached that would give me info on my order that was delayed. I clicked on it and it sent something to my saved attachment file.... I never opened it cause usually those things open to be viewed immediately. Sooooo, stupid me tried to open it and view the file, downloaded it a couple of more time with no success till finally it crossed my mind that this was a virus or some other malicious thing.

I deleted it and then securely deleted it from the trash. got the anti-virus Clamx to look around and found no viruses.

What do you think this thing was that was sent to me?
