Dear Subscriber:

While we are not at all certain that this is something you need to be
concerned with, the information comes to us from one of our subscribers
who
received it from a reliable source.

Our recommendation is that you do NOT unzip the product described below
if
you should ever receive it by email.

In fact you should be extremely cautious anytime you receive an
executable
file by email.  This has become a common way of spreading a computer
virus.
 Even your trusted friends might unknowingly send you a virus attached to
a
seemingly harmless program.
