    This has been doing the rounds for years, never has your name and always has an attachment, probably with an .exe extension, occasionally might have been zipped, but the it still contains an .exe file.

    Some AV programs will not detect it until you execute it, others will look at it inside the e-mail.

    Yes but sent it to virus-total as an exe and some didn't flag it....
