Virus .. Or...?..Help

So she has computer problems last week and couldn't "E" me a note pad attachment. Last night I get home open my "E" mail and there is a note from her with an attachment.(Note was actually send 3 time in the span of 10 minutes, which I thought was odd) I open the attachment after saving it to my desktop.
I appeared to have a MSDOS icon. Tried to open and blip...it turned my screen black as well as leaving a note that I no longer had enough memory to run certain programs. IAs I checked my C drive, I noticed I had taken on a SWP File..."win386.swp" for 81,920kbs. I can not delete it of the C drive ..also went into DOS and tried to delete it that way. No Luck. Using wifes computer to write this note cause it has taken out my dial up properties. Odd Think..I can still run my Photo Shop 5 and other programs, but can not get on to internet..Due to a memory problem. When I check my memory, I have about 90% available..Any Ideas...Thanks in Advance...Steve
