The name of the executable file has little or nothing to do with the potential
harm it can do!
A much better rule to follow : never *ever* run an executable attachment that
you get in the mail (or downloaded off the net, or got on a diskette ...),
unless you are absolutely *positive* that you can trust who it came from.
Running a program like this is just like handing your house key to a stranger
and saying "here, do whatever you like with my possessions".
