Attachment:

update1991.exe                     [applica/x-msdownlo, base64, 140K]

Since I run UNIX, I cannot run this through a windows virus scanner.
I did check Symantec and there's no listing for update1991.exe. Anyone
wants the noxious binary, email me off list and I will post it somewhere 
publicly accessible.
