>>>Don't open the pretty park.exe. delete immediately. It is an E-mail virus.
here is what we learned (after the fact) from the person up-line from us (the
good news seems to be that it doesn't do more mischief than that):
Pretty Park.exe is an email virus. It seems to send the message you received
to everyone in your address book. Go to McAffe on the internet to learn more.
I think you can delete the file, but I'm not sure how invasive it is

Hello,
As a general safe e-mail 'rule', don't open any attachments unless you know
the sender..even then, you might have some trouble. The Pretty Park 'virus' is
not new and others on this list know more than I do about it. Viruses can also
spread by Cynthia and Ellen passing the warning on which can be what the virus
creators intended. I suggest we all have an up-to-date virus scanner installed
and meanwhile, exercise caution and don't worry.
Cheers,
Ellen
