Hi,
First, were you expecting the file and do you know the source? If not,
delete it as it is more than likely a virus.
If you do know the above, ask the sender what was used to create it. What
you are seeing is the result of a file extension that your system is
unfamiliar with. Notepad is merely interpreting the code as ASCII and
translating it to the appropriate characters.
