Thanks for the warning! I regularly DON'T open ANY attachments unless: 1) I know the person it is from and 2) I am expecting an email with an attachment.

I'm on a secure network with multiple firewalls and virus checks, which is the only reason I clicked on the attachment. The virus flag immediately came up on this attachment which I have since deleted.

As is the case for most of these viruses the from email address is being spoofed, so it probably didn't come from ***boat.com

Yeah...me too, but with the state of the hackers these days and the rapid evolution of worms and viruses, the virus checking software can be behind and not catch a new variant of malicious code. Be safe....know the sender!
