all i think this is a power point slide file yes in some macro files could have scripts to cause harm but always have an virus scan software installed on your comp and it should pick some bad file types or viruses

But then again some viruses just break in no matter what always check before downloading anything, before i download it asks me to scan for viruses if it detects anything i huck it. mail bombd are so old school. micro shaft stuff is break able and if your running outlook as mail you better be careful.

I pop my mail from a server using a web base mail interface.
