    It is never a good idea to just open a file that comes as an attachment to an email. Better and safer to save to your hard drive, if necessary in a temp folder, then right click on it, choose scan with your AV program and if clean then double click to open it. Better safe than sorry and only takes a few seconds once you get into the habit!
