Simple but painful lesson isn't it.

If you don't recognise the sender, just delete the mail.

Despite what people think, especially if the mail is in HTML format, its easy for a script to run as soon as its opened - don't think you need to click on links or open attachments, things have gone way past that.

And as Extreme found out yesterday, you should regularly run (free) tools like Spybot and AVG as a matter of course.
