the last few days I get at least 3-4 forwards if not more, that are titled "hello" or "hi" or "test" and are always 31K... and the addresses are from hotmail or aol or other well known mail providers, one of them was an address of a person I knew.  I opened a few at first but never downloaded anything.  what is it?

haha....I guess I didn't go into much detail.... there is never any text, its always a downloadable file, but the couple times I tried they wouldn't download.  and the ones that aren't like that, are an entire page full of java script.  they always show up in my bulk folder, and are all 31K.  just kinda weird.

Don't open it if your not sure. A lot of virus are contracted through email. Just be safe and don't open it.
