This advice published in association with the AIDS program is good
advice.

It is a special case of the advice that says use only programs or
diskettes that you expect from trusted sources.

This is a special case of the advice that says do not open mail that has
no return address, is not expected, or is otherwise suspicious.  In a
small number of cases it may be very dangerous to do so.
