| You could take a file virus.exe and zip it up as virus.zip, email it as an attachment in a message that says "VIRUS ATTACHED, DO NOT OPEN!" to everyone you know and someone will still open it.

They assume the zip file is safe because it is not an executable. |

You'd be surprised. It's like that old adage about leading a horse to water.
Some people, no matter how much you tell them, just can't comprehend.
It reminds me of the old Far Side cartoon where the 'mentally challenged' kid is pushing on a door that's clearly marked 'Pull.'  |
