Of course it is, what did you think? They send stuff to you without you buying something?

And if you have preview enabled in your email program, then yes you have already opened it.


AVG may have stripped it out but it could also be spyware that AVG won't recognise.

Just because you have preview enabled does not mean the infected attachment will run or open.

Most don't actually.

I got the email the other day and NOD32 picked it up as it was downloading from the ISP email server.
