Delete any attachment you were not specifically expecting. Aside from viruses, attachments can also include things you do not want on your computer, such as "trojan horse" programs that only send out one email, containing passwords, credit card numbers, etc. There are also programs that allow a remote user to use you and your internet connection as a host to trade in illicit materials. I say delete all mail with atachments. you can then, in a seperate mail you can ask what it was, and they can send it again. If it was from someone you don't know, you didn't want it anyway.
