I just got an email from an address i don't know ([email protected]), text looks spainish to me, and it included an attachment called paulinasex.cpl. I have no idea why I've got it, I don't eve know what a cpl file is. is it worth downloading or should I delete it straight away?

It's the w32/duni worm. Delete it. It's not a superbaddy, but it's a worm nonetheless.

dogmajay---I get them all of the time.DON'T OPEN IT!DELETE IT!!
My wife works for Liberty Mutual.She uses a computer;all of the
time!They told her;at work;to delete ANYTHING(especially with
attachment)if you don't know what it is.They figure;that;it's better
to piss off;a customer;then to take a chance on infecting the whole system! Irish

listen to them... when you do not know what it is or where it is from it is time to exercise the "delete"option... what's the worst than can happen? open it and you end up with nothing on (and I do mean nothing) on your hard drive and you are hosed (welcome to the full re-install and full file loss) or you can delete it and then if it was something important the sender will usually send it again...

as a rule of thumb "delete" is the way to go if you do not know who the sender is or if there is something attached...

dogmajay---I forgot to tell you;that alot;of the viruses will also
attach;to any entries;on your address book.If you open it;it will
send out;the virus;to everyone;on your list.It will then attach;to
theirs;and ditto.In other words;one opening;can affect;alot of
people!All of these;are things that;I have heard!As suggested;by
MilkToast;if it is important;it will be sent again.It is beyond me;
why some people get a kick out of this;but it takes all kinds!Irish
