    Never open an attached e-mail zip file unless you are expecting one. Here is another article where a virus e-mail tries to trick a user to open a malicious zip file: <a href="http://www.onlinethreatalerts.com/article/2012/7/19/i-can-assure-you-youre-in-deep-sht-now-over-those-photos--you-know-what-i-mean-virus-email.aspx">I can assure you you're in deep sh*t now-over-those-photos</a>
