Louise,
You are not the first nor will you be the last to fall for this one, it has made
the rounds a few times.  The file is actually a valid windows file.

The one I like is the Amish Virus;
"Attention; you have been infected by the Amish Computer Virus.  We are honest
people who do not use computers, so this operates on the honour system.  Please
delete some files from your computer and pass this on.
Bless thee."

Cheers,
Rick
