After unzipping:
Quote:
$ file vba_script.txt
vba_script.txt: MS-DOS executable PE for MS Windows (GUI) Intel 80386 32-bit
$
Therefore it is a win executable. I suggest you wouldn't run it since you don't know who created it, or why was it created... 
Or perhaps you can create a dummy windows user with restricted privileges and then run it (assuming you have latest updates, so that it does not exploit a security hole and ... you know!) and figure out what's going on based on the error message that you'll read.

I actually did lol.
I thought it was a friend from HC.Many people come in & out wanting to be friends there. I thought it was Art Pendragon LOL.
He sent a file which was a Bucket file for photos saying this resembles Aculias.
I was curious then my com is lagging hard now.
I dont know if I am infected any other way.
I am sure he is laughing now

YES
SOme CLOWN is going to all my friends on MSN sending in viruses under the name of ART.
And yes it was an windows exe file but changing the extension to txt you would be able to open it without infecting your computer (if it is a virus). that's why i posted the link to it because like this won't do any harm! if you add .exe at the end than be carefull!
i got it under the name of art!!! on my msn messenger
Here's the discution i had with ART about this file!
let's find this guy!

I'm just curious. MSN just came out with a new version. Are you using it? If so, when did you update it? I think it was today that I got a pop up telling me there was a new version.

DIEGIS took it as well...
Is getting worse... Why is it so easy to do something bad instead of working on something good? I never understood that...

Hmm,this thing is dangerous.We should learn to avoid such people and block as fast as we can.
 It is probably a trojan downloader.
