.email attachment

Was this from someone you know and were you able to verify they knowingly sent it? With the number of virii that distribute themselves from contact lists, it's very hard to tell. The filename seems suspicious, however. To be safe, you might want to delete it, perform a full system virus scan (make sure you have current virus def's) and ask the sender to resend in a common format. If there are files in it, meaning it is an archive, it would be a .zip or .rar extention. Ask them to either resend the pictures separately or archive them in a common format.

You did not mention what happens when you try to open it, does anti-virus kick in or does the open with window pop-up?

Fw_VeryInformative.email sounds like a header/file name for a virus attachment, virus originator is trying to get you to start a program to start the virus.

Hi,

This sounds more like a virus than anything useful.

But, if you do want to try and open it, I would save the file to disk then change the extension to .eml then try again.
