Yes, I am safe since I have that knowledge, but I did
in fact open one once, just to see what would happen,
and my AV software made my machine flash in red and
blue until I chose HEAL and then it closed, let me know
that it was removed and cleaned, and went back to where
it received the virus. Thank God for AVG, the best free
AV software I've ever used. Been using it since 1997,
and never had an infection that couldn't be cleaned.
