Microsoft Support just sent me an email with an atachment, but what the hell is the attachment?

I got one in my yahoo webmail, I think that's the first time I've ever gotten an email virus. Something about a screensaver, with a very short message, and an attachment, screensaver.exe or something like that.

I've recieved two of the so-called MS support emails. They were both identical. I wonder what would happen if I ran one of the attachments using the windows emulator?

Mine came from *.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net, with EHLO OPTIPLEXGS1103, I assume an infected workstation at some business or something. (dude, they got a virus!)
