don't open or try to open that file there is a trojan in there, my linux machine opened it just fine and found them.

When I open it with winrar it tells me that the archive is damaged. Try sending the website an email that you want to unsubcribe, or see if there is a feature like that on the site. Also make sure you antivirus is on just in case the email is infected and its all a hoax.

Well then nm don't open it and delete the email.

just don't download it, it has a trojan inside of it

Yep, stay away!

hm, either i'm getting spoofed back or by some freak there is indeed something wrong. i took the file down to be safe.

for all wondfering it was an office.dll that i renamed to get file of correct size, trojan sig may be chance, i am checking my system atm to make sure.

edit

drat. it seems the redhat gave a false positive. i checked both the renamed file and the original, and the downloaded one. nothing. i copied a sober signature into a text file and detected it.

so it seems the experiment was killed too fast. but better safe than sorry.

mods, go ahead and archive this thread.

(curses linux and false positives in response to ms code) (if that's what it was)
