No..because it only needs to change its name and your check will no
longer work...and in fact, that is exactly what it HAS done (or rather
someone has done it for it) and there are now 3 versions (at last
count) of the letters with the attachment and in each case the subject
and message has changed and the name of the VBS file has been changed.
You are better off keeping your antivirus sw up to date and never
opening suspicious files...especially ones with the .VBS extension.
Unless you are in the programming field, it is most unlikely anyone
would send you a .VBS file unless it was malicious code.
