If you are a *smart* Windows user and set up your system to show file
extensions for registered file types, you'd see "fake.txt.vbs" or
"fake.txt.scr" or "fake.txt.pif" instead of just "fake.txt" and know
immediately what the file REALLY is.

That, or you install Norton Antivirus on your computer with daily virus
updates. Our company uses McAfee, which sucks (Norton found 750 copies of
the same virus on my laptop that McAfee did NOT find).
