if you are unsure of it email your friend [I am assuming it is a
friend] and ask if they sent it to you, if they did fine if not I'm
sure they'd like to know they could have a problem already

I have received a file from a novice computer user in France called:

Does anyone know what the extension .wps means?
Look suspiciously like a virus but the sender has only been on the
internet
for a week or so.
It takes under about 20 minutes for an unprotected Windows machine to
get infected if it's connected to the internet. It takes longer than
that for Windows users to download their security patches.
It's probably a Microsoft Works document. I'd suggest they re-save it
as text or RTF and send it again as Microsoft Works has gone the way
of the dinosaurs. You should be able to open it with Microsoft Word
and save it as something more useful.
Have fun,
