Can anyone answer the question in the subject of this post. The reason I
wonder is that my email address (identity) has only been in use for the last
week, and has only been used for this OE newsgroup.

I received an email from someone named "Arduini" subject: Francis

I do not know this person and it got through my McAfee Spamkiller and also
my ISP spam filter (which is pretty good because I have never received spam
in any of my identities, ever.

This email contains 2 attachments... "nataniel_zip (61.6KB)" and
"bpmnxhjfps.gif(1.07KB)"

The message body says: "Archive password:" and then there is a 5 digit
number.

Has anyone else in here received this email? Could this be someone trying to
spread a virus? (I have no idea if scanning the attachment would detect a
virus etc. in a zip file, if it is a zip file.)
