Opening email attachment?

  • i received a very important document in an email however i cannot open the attachment .is there any way to open it . comp wanted to search net for an appropriate program but the program download was cancelled by norton ,it had detected a trojan . i have windows xp home . many thanx.

  • Answer:

    First of all, do you recognise the email adress sending it too you ? If you dont then the best chance is, is that it is a trojan and it is best not to open it. If it is you should be able to copy the file, or find out where its located and open it with paint.
