Is pack.z19 or pack.zl9 a Microsoft offering or is it a virus?

Thanks. Please respond. I can send you the attachment if
you want. It will not be installed until I know it is
genuine. One would think, the e-mail would contain a link
to your site, instead of an attachment.

The file itself is a virus/trojan.

The filename is changed from it's original by ZoneAlarm firewall.
The .zl9 is for Zone Labs, the creators of ZoneAlarm.

Microsoft NEVER sends end-users any files, they give you a link to go to!
