Dunno about that one in particular, but a '.exe' file is usually an
executable which runs on most computers unfortunate enough to be
running a Microsoft operating system.  Running some random executable
you get in the mail is the computational equivalent of having
unprotected sex with a stranger who sports a gaunt face, a hacking
cough, and open sores about the naughty bits.  It *might* turn out to
be perfectly okay -- but I, personally, wouldn't do it...
