That's good method I think, unless someone sends you .exe which you want to receive :) > .bat or .scr files (I assume .scr is an extension for windows scripts?). .scr is an extension of Screensaver, but because that's normal executable, it can contain a trojan horse, or other dangerous content. > However, I find it hard to think of legitimate reasons for someone to send > me an executable file. However, even if someone wants to send an executable, he can just pack it with zip/gzip/whatever. Regards! Mati
