I used the two scanners listed in the FAQ here. At this point I ran it through the Tuneup Shredder so I don't have it to scan again.

Thanks Doc. I ran it though both of them, and it said that is seem suspicious (noticed it was a zip file, and figured at that point I wouild just shred it.

If the file name was photo001-03-31-2008.jpg.zip , then I have no doubt that it was malware. People don't usually zip up pictures to send them. If they did, I'd expect the filename to be photo001-03-31-2008.zip (without the jpg in it).

Also sorry for confusion, I erroneously assumed it was an email, and don't know how to capture the information from an IM.

So the filename was photo001-03-31-2008.jpg.exe ? If so, malware for sure..

said by ptrowski :

Yep, that's what I thought. But it was interesting that none of the scanners seemed to hit it or log it in.

I think we are all still slightly confused here. Are you saying that the file was .zip and within that .zip was an executable named photo001-03-31-2008.jpg.exe or just an image photo001-03-31-2008.jpg?
