Default watch what you download from email

I wake up this evening and I have 10 emails -

mostly files with .zip attachments - saying my username and password are attached - it's come from half a dozen different sources.

Whenever I see a burst like this, there is a very good chance someone found a new exploit and is milking it while it's hot...

or maybe my email got flagged for extra activity - either way, I recommend Thunderbird or some non-microsoft program for email at all times and watch what you download.
