Thanks, Gustin. I'm on Linux, and the email came via Yahoo. I shouldn't be in such a hurray when I look at email. The email had Norton scan it before downloading, and it didn't report anything. I took Mark's advice and used Dolphin to look at my 'download" file and trashed it from there, then emptied the trash. I had selected it and a window was open when I was done, so I don't know what happened to that when i closed it, but it didn't go back into the download file.
