Agreed, that was pretty risky.. I won't do that again. I noticed that
after I clicked the link, my download folder had an empty .zip file PLUS
an external file. I just didn't see how a .zip file could be dangerous
unless files were actually extracted and executed, but I seem to
remember reading in a Trend Micro newsletter about a couple of new
exploits, and I suspect this was one of them.
