There is a new virus to watch for. This virus, called STAGES, comes
attached to your email as a text file, much as this email does. When
opened, the virus infects your email address book and distributes it in
mass emailings, working much like the MELISSA virus.

The attachment is what's called a "scrap file", with a .SHS extension.
The problem is that Windows hides that extension, so that it looks like
a .TXT file.
Regular .TXT files do not pose a threat, and deleting them would cause
problems.

for more information.
