This is a (very interesting, but nonetheless evil) virus, exploiting the
Win9* ability to mask file extensions...it is NOT a text file, but is in
actuality a *.shs file, which  will execute if opened.

MOST VIRUS PROTECTION SYSTEMS WILL NOT CATCH THIS.

The best way to detect it is to attempt to save the file to a local drive,
and you will (hopefully) notice the actual full filename is
"life_stages.txt.shs", though the attachment may list itself as
"life_stages.txt" in all other context.

BE WARNED.  THIS IS AN EXTREMELY NASTY TROJAN HORSE TACTIC.

Saurabh, I highly recommend you do some drive cleaning, and be more careful
with attachments in the future.  If you don't know the sender, then you
don't know the file!
