Hi Barbara

This looks suspicious to me as well. What is the full name of the attachment?
Does it have a double ending? or an ending with 'exe'? These are usually
good indicators.

The other thing that you can do is to send a message to the person that you
apparently received it from, asking if they indeed did send it. Advise them
that if they did not send it that they probably have a virus and that their
machine sent it. You run the risk of getting another similar message from
their machine, in which case delete both of the offending messages and then
empty your deleted message folder (or trash, whatever it is called.)
