It might be Iskandar's presentation, in which case it is safe. But I didn't see any way of opening the file anyhow. On 1/24/08, Skygram [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear friends, Several years ago I received a similar PowerPoint presentation on the Faith from a friend serving in the holy land.

As a rule, I never open attachments unless I am sure it's from someone I know personally. Knowing a person only through the internet is not enough; I have to know the sender from face to face human contact before I'll open an attachment. Otherwise I just delete the email. Even that rule

Dear Iskandar, One way to check is to determine the size of the original file to see if there has been any change. My understanding is that Trojan's can piggyback upon the original PPS file. In some instances the Trojans can already exist on the victim's computer and when a PPS file is

Dear Iskandar, So far your file on my Mac is 5.89mb and 5.9mb and 6.0mb. This is normal. Methods vary as to how a file size is calculated. There are again a variety of technical reasons for this. However when you have access to the original file you have the best way of determining if there is
