I haven't checked it out on the nai web page (www.nai.com) but it is
possible that this is a trojan horse which gathers information about your
computer and sends it off to China. I'll try to have a look later.
In any event if you receive an e-mail message containing an attachment
address to an undisclosed list or an address which disguises who it
actually is going to or came from it is probably a good idea to delete it
without reading it.
