E-mail

I have been getting the following e-mail for several days. Supposedly it is from TechRepublic, but I am not an IT person and it strikes me as suspicious:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=s-ascii”; name=irusWarning.txt” Content-Disposition: inline; filename=irusWarning.txt” Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable This is a message from the MailScanner E-Mail Virus Protection Service ———————————————————————- The original e-mail message contained potentially dangerous content, which has been removed for your safety. The content is dangerous as it is often used to spread viruses or to gain personal or confidential information from you, such as passwords or credit card numbers. Due to limitations placed on us by the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, we were unable to keep a copy of the original attachment. The content filters found this: MailScanner: Found a form in HTML message — Postmaster Mailscanner thanks transtec Computers for their support

Is this legit?
