NO, I definitely did not open it.

4 or 5 years ago, I received an email about Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs from hahaha. I deleted it. A day or two later I got the same email, I again deleted it. A day or two later I got the same email a third time. By now my curiosity got the better of me and I opened it. I immediately heard my hard drive activate for a second or two. Oooops, I deleted it. Guess what? It was too late. At first nothing happened but as the days went by I began to have more and more problems. Our IT guys tried to fix it remotely but couldn't. I took my laptop to them a few days later and they said that it would take them a while to clean up the disc.

I didn't lose any data but that was a royal pain in the a$$. I made a decision that very day that I would never again open a suspect email. Once bitten, twice shy. One virus was enough for me.

I run McAfee Enterprise VirusScan which has 1549 virus definitions so far. It has been working very well. Between my corporate spam filter and my own filter, 99% of spam gets blocked.
