Opened my email today and saw something like "This person shared two files with you". It was dropbox so I clicked it and there were two files. One was "Electrum.exe" other one was "wallet.js".

Is this some kind of virus? This is the first time I'm seeing something like this. May be someone shared it by mistake? If so, I would like to contact that person and let him know but I need to know what it is.

Each block is stacked on top of the previous one. Adding another block to the top makes all lower blocks more difficult to remove: there is more "weight" above each block. A transaction in a block 6 blocks deep (6 confirmations) will be very difficult to remove.

Apparently this is likely to be a kind of virus to steal your coins. It has been raised by a number of members in bitcointalk and reddit.

Can you use the freaking search function. You are not a newbie, scan it, delete it, remove it. Too good to be true, it is not true. Your question is the 5th one today...
