yes there are lot of virus moving around and so i always think it is always dangerous to open any mail attachement from a person whom you dont know. i feel that you should only download attachemt from those whom you know very well but stillyou should scan it. and always avoid such thing if you are aware, you dont know whether is it real or not. but if it is then you are in trouble. so better be safe.
