Unless you are a systems operator with a dedicated computer for such
things, why play such a dangerous game?

A fairly effective virus prevention strategy is to immediately erase any
unsolicited executable file. This holds especially true for anything with
as ominous a word in its name as "happy", "free", or "sex".

I may be a curmudgeon, but I don't think I've missed much of life's
pleasure even while erasing those animated greeting cards my friends (and
apparently my unknown enemies) occasionally send me.
