    I recieved an .lnk file in my inbox just a few minutes ago.
    
    Since I didn't know this person, and since I don't use a Windows
    product to check my email, I decided to look at it.
    
    I ran strings on the .lnk file and got a lot of stuff.  I posted
    it on the web, if anyone is interested.  I didn't want to take
    up a lot of list space to post it.

    Please take a gander and tell me whether I'm right in thinking
    this is a trojan of some kind.
    
    Thanks,
    JJ

    Freedom is an all-or-nothing proposition:  either we 
    are completely free, or we are subjects of a
    tyrannical system.  If we lose one freedom in a
    thousand, we become completely subjugated.
