I did not click on anything to open an attachment ... As the email was downloading, I scrolled up to begin reading the first arrival and as the email containing the virus was passed over the virus alert activated.

Good point, FreakyOCR. A rule I follow is not to open something I have no good reason to trust. But as you can plainly read in my response above to John, I did not break my rule.
