You're quite sure it's empty and doesn't say (rather cryptically) "How
about put it in fstab?"? If it does say the latter, what you have with
it is a PGP signature; I don't think even a Windows computer running
Outlook Express can be brought down by that.

I may be exceptionally stupid (see below), but anyway it's hard for me
to tell whether something is a "virus" when I know nothing whatever about
it.

I'm using Windows [proof of exceptional stupidity and cue for a chorus
of derisive laughter], but if I receive an unsolicited executable from
somebody who isn't obviously a computer moron, uh sorry, "newbie", I
start by asking the person who sent the message rather than the world at
large.
