Hi guys,

A freind has sent me a large file through MSN massenger (~160mb), It is a .exe file inside a .zip folder. When I try to run it, my the little hour glass thing comes up for about 20seconds or so, and then it comes up "to help prottect your coputerr windows has blocked access to this file, it won't even let my copy it out of the .zip folder, any ideas how to open it? I've tried turning off my anti-virus program (norton) but that didn't work, also it was ent to me from a mac, could this have something to do with it?

Cheers Matt
