no matter who a file is from…i always check it with a virus scanner…although it still may not be 100% reliable…its worth checking though….even a good friend may not even be aware that they have a virus!!!i would never ever ever accept a *.exe file from anyone!! that would just be silly…..we learn from our mistakes……even tho i’ve learnt from my brother coming into my room everyday and asking “you wouldn’t accept executable files would you?!?!?!”…:D
